Team News: Paris Saint-Germain recall Thiago Silva for Metz clash

Laurent Blanc makes four changes to his Paris Saint-Germain side from the 6-1 victory over Lille for tonight's Ligue 1 encounter with relegation-threatened Metz.

The changes all come at the back, with Nicolas Douchez replacing Salvatore Sirigu in goal, and Gregory van der Wiel, Thiago Silva and Lucas Digne replacing Serge Aurier, Marquinhos and Maxwell in defence.

Metz boss Albert Cartier sticks with the same XI that earned a 1-1 draw with Bordeaux on Saturday.

Ben Youssef, who had been pushing for a recall, has to settle for a place on the bench.

Paris Saint-Germain: Douchez; van der Wiel, Silva, Luiz, Digne; Verratti, Motta, Matuidi; Pastore, Cavani, Lavezzi.

Metz: Mfa Mezui; Metanire, Lejeune, Milan, Palomino; Sassi, Sarr, Kashi, Malouda; Ngbakoto, Maiga.
