Christoph Galtier has been installed in charge, Kylian Mbappe has chosen to remain after a lengthy courtship and a host of superstar talent remains on the books with silverware already under their belt this campaign in the shape of the Trophée des Champions.

Team news & rosters

PositionClermont roster
Goalkeepers Margueron, Djoco, Diaw
Defenders Zeffane, Borges, Wieteska, Billong, Cissé, Kamdem, Mendy, Ogier, Diallo, Seidu
Midfielders Magnin, Berthomier, Khaoui, Gonalons, Baiye, Gastien, Jaby, Chader, Saračević, Bellache, Massolin, Türkmen

Andrić, Allevinah, Rashani, Dossou, Diaby, Bela, Kyei

Clermont would likely rather forget about the 2021-22 campaign, where they dodged the bottom three by the skin of their teeth - but manager Pascal Gastien, a long-time hand at the club, will likely want his players to turn their pain into fuel for a drive up the table this term.

After all, in what was their first season in Ligue 1, they survived to make a sophomore campaign, and the only way now will be up for them and their modest ambitions - though they will have to play crafty to bring down the reigning champions, even on home soil.

Predicted Clermont starting XI: Djoco; Zeffane, Seidu, Ogier, Borges; Gonalons, Magnin; Dossou, Berthomeir, Rashani; Andric.

PositionPSG roster
Goalkeepers Navas, Rico, Letellier, Donnarumma
Defenders Hakimi, Kimpembe, Ramos, Marquinhos, Bernat, Kurzawa, Diallo, Kehrer, Mendes, Mukiele
Midfielders Verratti, Paredes, Rafinha, Pereira, Vitinha, Wijnaldum, Sarabia, Herrera, Draxler, Gueye, Dina Ebimbe
Forwards Mbappe, Icardi, Neymar, Kalimuendo, Messi, Ekitike

While the rest of Ligue 1 jerk into action this weekend, Paris Saint-Germain already have their season up and running - and have some silverware to show for it too, after they ran out heavy victors against Nantes in Israel to win the Trophée des Champions.

That is just a taster of what Christophe Galtier will likely bring to the club this year, in an unusual fusion of superstar players with a less-than-glamourous coach, despite the latter's success as a Ligue 1 victor just over a year ago at Lille - and they will hope to get their title defence up and running on the road with a win.

Predicted PSG starting XI: Donnarumma; Ramos, Kimpembe, Marquinhos; Hakimi, Vitinha, Verratti, Mendes; Messi; Mbappe, Neymar.
