DM: Emre Can - The Borussia Dortmund captain will start in the number six role where he will hope to show that he is capable of performing at the highest level. It has been a difficult season so far for Can, and the PSG tie could prove to be crucial for his future.

CM: Marcel Sabitzer - Lining up in the number eight role will be Sabitzer, who is in excellent form at the moment. The Austrian international was given a breather at the weekend and will hope to make a decisive impact on Wednesday, just like he did in the second leg against Atletico Madrid.

AM: Julian Brandt - The responsibility of being Borussia Dortmund's midfield conductor will fall to Brandt, who was one of the team's top performers in the quarterfinal tie against Atletico Madrid. He will now hope to make a similar impact against PSG.

LW: Jadon Sancho - Fresh off his sublime goal against RB Leipzig, Sancho will be keen to make a decisive impact on Wednesday. His battle against former teammate Achraf Hakimi promises to be an intriguing one.

RW: Karim Adeyemi - Borussia Dortmund could opt for the blistering pace and ball-carrying ability of Adeyemi against PSG. The 22 year old can be unplayable at times when on his game, and he will now hope to show his quality on the Champions League semifinals stage.

ST: Niclas Füllkrug - After going through a rough patch, Füllkrug seems to have found his scoring streak again. The Germany international may well have to feed off scraps at times against PSG, but he will look to lead the BVB attack with his hold-up play and physicality.
