Lens Preview: The visitors looking to extend winning run
Lens found their rhythm before the international break, picking up wins against Brest and at Havre, after suffering a narrow loss at Lyon on the opening day.
Their squad is healthy for the most part, only missing defender Jhoanner Chavez, who is nursing an ankle injury, and former Nottingham Forest forward Odsonne Edouard, out with an Achilles tendon injury.
The visitors will have to rely on organisation and counter-attacks if they are to get anything at PSG’s ground.

Player to watch: Bradley Barcola
Bradley Barcola is one of PSG’s most exciting stars, and with injuries to Dembele and Doue, he will be the next name to look at, troubling the opposition with his electric pace, clever movement, and clinical finishing.
Barcola scored in PSG’s 6-3 victory over Toulouse and he will once again look to add another goal on Sunday, combined with his ability to stretch defences on the flank and create space for his teammates.
