Buffon expected to start for PSG on Wednesday night

Italian veteran Gianluigi Buffon is expected to start in between the sticks for Paris Saint-Germain against Liverpool on Wednesday night.

According to L’Équipe, as cited by Get French Football News, Buffon is being tipped to start in what is some early team news ahead of the game.

The two sides meet in Paris on Wednesday night in a game that will be key in deciding how their group finishes.

Thomas Tuchel has been rotating in goal this season following Buffon’s arrival from Juventus over the summer.

Both the Italian and highly-rated French goalkeeper Alphonse Areola have shared the responsibility.

The French champions will be looking to put in a good performance after a disappointing showing when they travelled to Merseyside earlier this season.

Liverpool currently sit one point ahead of PSG in second place, level on points with Napoli following two wins from four.

The shock defeat to Red Star in their previous outing has put extra onus on the meeting with Tuchel’s men.
