Last five results:
- Roma 0-1 Lille

Ousmane Dembele, Joao Neves, Desire Doue, Marquinhos and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are all still missing for PSG through injury. However, Luis Enrique's side are still finding a way to grind out wins, so perhaps they will not miss them too much here.

Player to watch: Senny Mayulu
