Paris Saint-Germain will be hoping to bounce back from defeat last time out as they take on Auxerre at the Parc des Princes knowing a win for the Champions League holders will lift Luis Enrique’s side back to the top of Ligue 1.
PSG have the chance to move three points clear of Marseille, who beat Enrique’s men last week before leapfrogging the Parisians with a 2-1 victory over Strasbourg on Friday.
But PSG will have to do so without recently-crowned Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele, who remains sidelined through injury.
Auxerre, meanwhile, will be hoping to cause an upset and build on their two wins from five league games so far this term.
Here are how the two sides shape up for this French top-flight clash.
