Relegation-threatened Brest host league-leading Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday evening in a Ligue 1 meeting between clubs with wildly contrasting ambitions for the rest of the season.
While Brest are frantically focused on extending the narrow gap between themselves and the relegation zone - which has been expanded to four teams this season - PSG's sole target is a ninth league title in 11 seasons after their European aspirations were brought to a screeching halt by Bayern Munich in midweek, and here Sports Mole rounds up the team news for both clubs.
