Vieira does not fear PSG

Nice boss Patrick Vieira insisted he does not fear champions Paris St Germain as he prepares to lead his side into battle with the Ligue 1 leaders.

The sides meet at the Stade du Ray on Saturday with former Arsenal and France star Vieira relishing the opportunity to go head-to-head with the best.

He told the club’s official website, www.ogcnice.com: “Is there fear? No! There is excitement.

“It will be necessary to produce the perfect match to obtain a result. The support of our fans will help us to surpass ourselves.”

Nice head into the game having won three of their last four matches after taking just a point from their first three.
