PSG are proving a formidable force at the Parc des Princes and their free-flowing frontline should be too hot for Napoli to handle.

The dominant French champions have not looked back since losing 3-2 at Anfield, scoring three or more in racking up six straight successes.

A hat-trick from Brazilian poster boy Neymar inspired them to a 6-1 tanking of Red Star Belgrade three weeks ago and his link up with teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe and Edison Cavani should strike fear into their guests.

Napoli were left frustrated in a goalless draw at Red Star Belgrade in their opener before recording a 1-0 win over Liverpool, who failed to register a shot on target.

However, they are less effective on their travels, highlighted by league losses at Sampdoria (3-0) and Juventus (3-1) this season.
