Monaco v PSG: Line-ups, stats and preview

Preview for Monaco v PSG

Ligue 1 leaders PSG head to Monaco looking to extend their hold on top spot in France.

Fresh from another win in the Champions League in midweek over a much-improved Tottenham, Luis Enrique’s side will be looking for a 10th win of the season in a close league.

PSG have won the title 11 times since 2012 but go into the weekend just two points ahead of both Lens and Marseille.

Monaco on the other hand have lost three straight games in the league and are down in eighth place.

Their fans will need to see a much brighter display against the Champions League holders.
