PSG vs Aston Villa: free stream

Luis Enrique's PSG are the defending Super Cup champions, having beaten Tottenham Hotspur on penalties last year, and could become only the second club after Real Madrid to win the trophy back-to-back.

PSG have no confirmed absences, but it'll be interesting to see how many of Enrique's World Cup returnees actually start. They've also had a mixed pre-season, losing 3-0 to Mallorca before drawing 1-1 with Manchester United.

Unai Emery's Aston Villa, meanwhile, are making their first Super Cup appearance in more than 30 years, having previously won the trophy in 1982. The Villains are without Amadou Onana, Johan Manzambi, and Leon Bailey for Wednesday's clash.

Naturally, PSG go in as favourites, but they will know Villa can trouble them after the two sides split their Champions League quarter-final legs in 2024/25, with PSG ultimately progressing 5-4 on aggregate.
