Preview: Paris Saint-Germain vs. Toulouse

Paris Saint-Germain must turn their attention to a gripping Ligue 1 title race this weekend when they host Toulouse in the French capital.

A three-horse race between PSG, Marseille and leaders Lyon was put to one side in midweek as Laurent Blanc's side played out a 1-1 draw with Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

Despite conceding a crucial away goal against the Premier League leaders, PSG remain in the hunt for a place in the quarter-finals, and Blanc will be under pressure to deliver the goods at Stamford Bridge next month.

Before then, the defence of their title must take centre stage, and all eyes are on PSG as they continue to search for their best form in Ligue 1.

All three title challengers slipped up with draws last weekend, and Blanc will expect a response after his side threw away a two-goal advantage to be held to a 2-2 draw by Caen.

Lyon and Marseille do not return to action until Sunday, which means that PSG can go a point clear of the former with a win over Toulouse.

Alain Casanova's side climbed out of the relegation zone last weekend with a 2-1 victory over Rennes, and the morale-boosting win is likely to see the visitors name an unchanged side.

David Luiz is likely to move back into the centre of defence after playing in midfield against Chelsea, while Adrien Rabiot could be handed a start.
