Christophe Galtier's men can shift their focus to the domestic league title after they were ousted by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
They are 10 points ahead of Marseille at the top and with just 11 rounds to go, and they should lift the title again in May, given they play to their potential. They are on a four-match winning streak in Ligue 1 and would like to stretch that to five games on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Rennes head into this fixture on the back of a goalless stalemate against Auxerre. They have won just two of their last six matches in Ligue 1 which have seen them slip to fifth place. Les Rouges et Noir will be desperate to knock down PSG at their fortress to make a push for the top three, which gives them a chance to feature in the next edition of the Champions League.
