Fresh off the back of earning a controversial late point against Newcastle United in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germainwill resume their Ligue 1title charge away to Le Havre on Sunday.
The Parisians benefitted from a fortunate VAR decision to hold Newcastle to a 1-1 draw in midweek. Kylian Mbappe's late penalty on Tuesday night means PSG will travel to Dortmund with their destiny in their own hands on the final matchday, but Luis Enrique's focus must now move to the domestic front.
They will take on a resilient Le Havre side, who have been the surprise package in Ligue 1 this season. Following their promotion back to top-flight for the first time in over a decade last season, they begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting inside the top-half after an impressive opening 13 matches of the 2023/24 Ligue 1 campaign.
However, even at home, a positive result against the leaders seems too tall an order for Luka Elsner's side.

PSG team news
PSG boss Luis Enrique has seen his expensively assembled squad depleted by injuries of late, with teenage sensation Warren Zaire-Emery the most recent Paris Saint-Germain player to be sidelined.
Having recently been forced off during his senior international debut, the 17-year-old midfielder joins Nuno Mendes (hamstring), Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles), Danilo Pereira and Marquinhos (both hamstring) among those currently consigned to the treatment room, so Enrique's options for rotating his XI from the gruelling midweek draw with Newcastle are limited.
Although he missed a couple of absolute sitters, Bradley Barcola was lively off the bench on Tuesday night and could be handed a rare start here. Marco Asensio (foot) is back fit, and could also be a viable option in attack.
Paris Saint-Germain possible XI: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Mukiele, Skriniar, Hernandez; Ruiz, Ugarte, Lee; Barcola, Asensio, Mbappe.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Donnarumma, Tenas, Navas, Rico, Letellier |
| Defenders: | Skriniar, Hernandez, Kurzawa, Hakimi, Mukiele |
| Midfielders: | Ugarte, Vitinha, Ruiz, Soler, Ndour, E. Mbappe, Lee |
| Forwards: | K. Mbappe, Kolo Muani, Ramos, Ekitike, Dembele, Barcola, Asensio |
