Botman will be missed
Will Newcastle be able to cope without Sven Botman in defence tonight?
In his place, up steps tonight's captain Jamaal Lascelles, who is an experienced leader, but simply does not have the same quality as the Dutch stalwart.
This will be a huge test for the centre-back, but if he steps up tonight he could well work his way back into this brilliant Newcastle side.
He won't find it easy against that PSG attack, that is for sure, but it could be a magical night for him, and every other Newcastle player if they are on their game.
Predictions?
It's a tough one to call, this...
Newcastle could turn up at home and thrash the European giants, or the occasion could get the better of them and they could crumble.
Lethal striker Alexander Isak will be one to watch for the Magpies, as he looks to really make a mark in Europe.
Of course Mbappe will be the main man that Newcastle need to look out for, with his electric pace and deadly finishing.
Vital too will be the midfield battle, which could be in favour of the hosts, boasting two world-class players in those positions, Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali.
Every minute that passes it feels like my mind changes, but I'm going to go with a PSG win, what do you think?
All out attack
It's an aggressive line up from PSG tonight, as it looks like they will go for the jugular against Newcastle away from home.
Mbappe, Dembele, Kolo-Muani and Ramos is a front four that would frighten any defence, with heaps of pace, skill and technical ability.
PSG Line-up
Here is how PSG line up at St James Park tonight!
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez; Dembele, Ugarte, Zaire-Emery, Mbappe; Kolo-Muani, RamosNewcastle line-up!

"I know the supporters will get behind us and then whatever we do from there will depend on what happens afterwards.
"But we're really looking forward to it, we're looking forward to the challenge that it will bring.
