Team news & rosters
| Position | PSG roster |
|---|---|

| Defenders | Hakimi, Kimpembe, Ramos, Marquinhos, Bernat, Dagba, Kurzawa, Diallo, Kehrer, Mendes, Bitshiabu |

A 5-1 demolition job on Ligue 1 title holders Lille only further underlined just how big the gulf is between Mauricio Pochettino's team and the rest of his side's rivals - and they can maintain their advantage with another triumph heading into the weekend.
With Neymar back in training too, the Brazil star could very well make his return to action - though any role is likely to be a cameo to ease him back in from the bench.
Predicted PSG starting XI: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Mendes; Danilo, Paredes, Verratti; Messi, Mbappe, Simons.
| Position | Rennes roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Salin, Gomes, Bonet, Alemdar, Damergy |
| Defenders | Truffert, Bade, Aguerd, Assignon, Omari, Meling, Traore, Belocian |
| Midfielders | Santamaria, Sulemana, Bourigeaud, Diouf, Tait, Majer, Ugochukwu, Martin |
| Forwards | Terrier, Guirassy, Doku, Tchaouna, Laborde, Tel |
Bruno Genesio's side have endured fluctuating form, including a tough loss to Lens, since the turn of the new year, but they'll be hopeful that they can spring something of a surprise against their favoured hosts.
The return of Alfred Gomis from the Africa Cup of Nations is a particular boost for them too, with the goalkeeper likely to go straight back into the starting line-up.
Predicted Rennes starting XI: Gomis; Traore, Omari, Aguerd, Meling; Majer, Martin, Santamaria; Bourigeaud, Laborde, Terrier.
