Hello and welcome to live commentary of this Ligue 1 fixture between Paris Saint Germain and Strasbourg. The hosts enter this one sitting in a disappointing third spot in the league – they’re one point off top though, and will be expecting a win today to put pressure on leaders Lille.
Strasbourg, meanwhile, are two points outside the relegation zone in 16th; avoiding defeat would be valuable if they could pull it off.
PARIS SAINT GERMAIN (3-5-2): Keylor Navas; Colin Dagba, Timothee Pembele, Marquinhos, Tilo Kehrer, Mitchel Bakker; Marco Verratti, Ander Herrera, Rafinha; Angel Di Maria, Kylian Mbappe.
SUBS: Ismael Aaneba, Kevin Zohi, Adrien Thomasson, Sanjin Prcic, Habib Diallo, Alexandre Pierre, Mehdi Chahiri, Mahame Siby, Anthony Caci.
STRASBOURG (3-5-2): Eiji Kawashima; Mohamed Simakan, Stefan Mitrovic, Alexander Djiku; Kenny Lala, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Jean Eudes Aholou, Ibrahima Sissoko, Lionel Carole; Ludovic Ajorque, Dimitri Leanard.
PSG make five changes to the side that drew with Lille last time out. Most notably, Mbappe returns in place of Kean up top as they switch from a 3-4-3 into a 3-5-2 formation.
The players are emerging from the tunnel and kick off is just seconds away!
Strasbourg will need to become a little more adventurous if they're to claim anything from this game though and you'd expect them to throw more attackers forward in the second half.
That's all for now though, goodbye!
PSG remain in third after wins for Lille and Lyon. Strasbourg, meanwhile, drop to 17th.
