How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.

Manager

• Luis Enrique

• U. Emery

Luis Enrique names a strong projected XI for PSG, with Matvey Safonov in goal behind a back line of Willian Pacho, Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi, and Nuno Mendes. Vitinha, Dro Fernandez, and Joao Neves are expected to form the midfield, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ibrahim Mbaye supporting Senny Mayulu in attack. No injuries or suspensions are listed for the home side.

Unai Emery is without Leon Bailey, Johan Manzambi, and Amadou Onana through injury for Villa. The projected XI places Marco Bizot in goal, with Pau Torres, Matty Cash, Ian Maatsen, and Victor Nilsson Lindelof in defence. Joao Gomes, Boubacar Kamara, and John McGinn are set for midfield roles, with Alejandro Garnacho, Emiliano Buendia, and Tammy Abraham in the attacking positions. Further updates will be added closer to kick-off if the situation changes.

PSG head into the Super Cup with a W2-D1-L2 record across their last five matches. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-1 draw with Manchester United in a pre-season friendly on August 8, while a 3-0 defeat to Mallorca earlier in August was a sharper setback. Their form before the summer break was more convincing, with a 1-1 win over Arsenal in the Champions League final on May 30 the standout result, alongside a 2-0 victory at Lens in Ligue 1. They conceded in four of their last five matches.

Aston Villa's last five results show W2-D0-L3. Their most recent game was a 2-1 friendly defeat to Bayern Munich on August 7. A 1-3 win over BG Pathum United on August 4 provided a confidence boost, though losses to Real Sociedad (4-2) and FC Porto (2-1) earlier in pre-season underline that Emery's side are still building match sharpness. Villa scored eight goals across the five matches and conceded eight.
