Paris Saint-Germain will be looking to get another three points when they play FC Nantes at Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau on Saturday. The champions remain unbeaten so far in the competition and have 13 points from five matches.
They head into this fixture at the back of a convincing win over Toulouse and will be brimming with confidence after scoring three past the newly-promoted side. All eyes will be on Neymar as the Brazilian has had a scintillating start to the campaign with seven goals and six assists in just five appearances.
Nantes, meanwhile, are 10th in the table with just six points from a possible 15 following a draw in their last match against Strasbourg. They had already suffered a 4-0 hammering from PSG in the French Super Cup earlier in August and should be well aware of the firepower possessed by Christophe Galtier's side. However, they remain unbeaten at home which should boost their morale ahead of the tie.

Presnel Kimpembe, Timoth Pembele, and Pablo Sarabia are the three absentees for PSG. Meanwhile recent additions, Carlos Soler and Fabian Ruiz, could also be included in the matchday squad.
