How Paris Saint-Germain could line up against Saint-Etienne

How PSG could line up against Saint-Etienne

Paris Saint-Germain will be looking for their fourth straight win in all competitions when they face Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 on Sunday night.

Thomas Tuchel's side rounded off their Champions League group-stage campaign with an impressive 5-0 victory at home to Galatasaray on Wednesday night.

The capital giants have won their last four in the league, meanwhile, which has left them five points clear at the top of Ligue 1 with a game in hand over second-placed Marseille.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the French champions could line up at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.


Out: Presnel Kimpembe (thigh), Idrissa Gueye (thigh), Ander Herrera (thigh) Doubtful: Colin Dagba (muscle), Thomas Meunier (illness), Angel Di Maria (muscle)

PSG will again be without the services of Presnel Kimpembe, Idrissa Gueye and Ander Herrera through injury, while experienced attacker Angel Di Maria remains a doubt due to a muscular problem.

Tuchel also potentially still has an issue at right-back with Colin Dagba battling to overcome a muscular injury and Thomas Meunier still struggling with illness.

Layvin Kurzawa featured in that area of the field against Galatasaray, but Thilo Kehrer made his return from a foot problem off the bench against the Turkish giants and could now earn a spot in the XI.

Julian Draxler could be handed a spot in the middle of the park, meanwhile, with Neymar, Mauro Icardi and Kylian Mbappe potentially lining up as the front three.

Edinson Cavani is an option should Tuchel wish to shuffle his pack, although the club's all-time leading goalscorer has only started once in the league since the middle of August.
