Samir Nasri does not believe Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) would thrive over England’s top clubs if they played in the Premier League, but conceded Laurent Blanc’s men are favourites for their Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City.

City face PSG in the first leg of their crucial tie at Parc des Princes on Wednesday, Basketball Heads Game but Nasri insisted the Ligue 1 champions should not be feared.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side have been knocked out by La Liga champions Barcelona at the last-16 stage for the past two seasons, Freebet while PSG succumbed in the quarter-finals for three years running – twice to the Catalan giants and once against Chelsea, who they knocked out of this season’s competition.

There has been pressure on both big-spending clubs to make progress in Europe’s premier club competition and ZEbet now have the highest odds there is plenty riding on the clash.

Nasri accepted that injuries to the likes of Joe Hart, Vincent Kompany and Raheem Sterling give PSG the advantage, lots of market options are available but he does not feel PSG – who have already wrapped up the Ligue 1 title – could dominate in England as they have done in France.

“Yes, PSG are favourites because we have many injuries – unfortunately we will not have a full squad,” he told L’Equipe.

“PSG also have the experience of playing the quarters two [three] years running. Best betting odds This will be our first time and that is a slight handicap.

“It’s true they have a great team, but I do not think they are above the others [in England]. There are no easy games in England, not one. I’d like to see PSG play a Monday night at Stoke, West Ham or at the Emirates against Arsenal.
