Team News

Metz
PSG
  • Don't expect much in the way of rotation from the hosts, although Aaron Leya Iseka and Thomas Delaine are also in the frame for Frédéric Antonetti.
  • Thierry Ambrose could also feature here, perhaps partnering Vagner in attack.
  • PSG have recovered the suspended trio of Paredes, Gueye and Neymar, but still have a number of notable absentees.
  • Layvin Kurzawa came off the bench in the week and could start here with Diallo a doubt.
  • Marquinhos is close to a return, but it's more likely the captain is restricted to an appearance from the bench with a crucial Champions League match looming.

Prediction

  • Metz remain a combative opponent, but with Europe now all but a pipe dream, Les Grenats are unlikely to offer quite the level of opposition they might have a month ago.
  • PSG will have more than one eye on Wednesday's match against Manchester City but should still have enough about them to beat the hosts, given the likes of Mbappé and Kean were rested in the week.
