Preview: Rennes vs. Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain travel to Rennes on Saturday looking to increase their current seven-point gap at the top of Ligue 1.

Rennes have struggled for form since the injury to Romain Alessandrini and their current run of six without a win has seen them drop to 10th.

PSG have been indifferent of late but have picked up in their last three games, with two wins and a draw from them.

Alessandrini is out for the rest of the season for the hosts, while they will also be without the injured Cheick Diarra.

PSG have an almost full-strength side to choose from, but Carlo Ancelotti could look to rest a few players with one eye on the return Champions League quarter-final match against Barcelona a few days after.
