PSG will take on Lens in a Ligue 1 contest at the Parc des Princes on Saturday. The defending champions will be looking for their first win of the season, having only managed to register draws in their first two matches. Their new project has not started according to plan, after losing both Lionel Messi and Neymar to other clubs and Kylian Mbappe's future becoming uncertain.
Interestingly, Mbappe scored the only PSG goal of the new season when he came off the bench against Toulouse but the display was not enough to convert one point into three. They should be able to do that against Lens who are also winless after their first two games.
Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
