PSG host Lille in a French Ligue 1 fixture looking to consolidate their lead at the top of the table. With the Parisians aiming to extend their lead, they are expected to have the upper hand against a Lille team pushing for a UEFA Champions League spot.
The champions are coming off a 7-0 thrashing of French fourth tier side, Stade Briochin to in the Coupe de France. That win means Luis Enrique’s team are now unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions, including a 3-2 victory over Lyon last time out in Ligue 1.
The attacking brilliance of PSG has been on full display, netting three or more goals in five of their last six matches in all competitions. However, their defence could use some improvement, having failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five matches.
Lille claimed a crucial 2-1 victory over Monaco last time out, a result that propelled them into fourth place in Ligue 1. However, their position is far from secure, with just one point separating them from Monaco in fifth.
Les Dogues have struggled away from home, winning just once in their last six Ligue 1 fixtures. Bruno Genesio’s men have struggled defensively and are without a clean sheet in five fixtures in that run.

PSG have no major injury concerns except for Warren Zaïre-Emery, who remains doubtful. However, Vitinha, João Neves and Fabián Ruiz are all available in midfield while Dembele, Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are set to continue in attack.
Lille meanwhile, will be without Edon Zhegrova and Tiago Santos due to injuries while Osame Sahraoui remains a doubt. David and Chuba Akpom are expected to lead the attack, with Hakon Haraldsson likely to retain his place after his brace against Monaco.
