Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain will be determined to maintain their strong lead when they host Nantes at Parc des Princes on Saturday night.
After a sluggish start to the season by their lofty standards, Paris Saint-Germain have stepped up in Ligue 1 in recent weeks, winning seven games in a row.
The hosts come into this one on the back of a routine 2-0 defeat of a stubborn Le Havre side last weekend, which has seen them open up a four-point gap at the top of the table.
They have been more inconsistent in the Champions League and may see this clash with Nantes as a preparation game ahead of Tuesday's pivotal clash against Group F leaders Borussia Dortmund.
Nantes, meanwhile, recorded their first win in five games last week, defeating second-placed Nice 1-0 thanks to Florent Mollet's first-half strike.
The victory helped them climb into eighth place in the league table, and the visitors will be aiming to deliver a major upset for the second week running as they face the daunting away trip to the Parc des Princes.
