KICK-OFF! We are up and running at the Stade Auguste-Delaune. Can PSG make it three wins in a row against out-of-form Reims?
Welcome to our live text coverage of the Ligue 1 meeting between Reims and Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Auguste-Delaune.
Reims have collected one point from their four matches and were knocked out of the Europa League at the third-qualifying stage on Thursday with defeat to Fehervar.
PSG started their Ligue 1 title defence with back-to-back losses but have since defeated Metz 1-0 and Nice 3-0 to get their campaign firmly back on track.
REIMS XI (4-1-4-1): Predrag Rajkovic; Thomas Foket, Dario Maresic, Yunis Abdelhamid, Ghislain Konan; Moreto Cassama; Anastasios Donis, Valon Berisha, Xavier Chavalerin, Nathanael Mbuku; El Bilal Toure.
PSG SUBS: Kays Ruiz-Atil, Bandiogou Fadiga, Sergio Rico, Alexandre Letellier, Marco Ve3rratti, Ander Herrera, Pablo Sarabia, Colin Dagba, Abdou Diallo.
That concludes our coverage of the Ligue 1 match between Reims and PSG! We hope you enjoyed it!
Reims have a difficult test lined up next when they travel to face Rennes on Sunday. PSG host Angers on Friday.
A wealth of experience on the bench for PSG will certainly be a daunting task in the second period for Reims, as Verratti and Herrera are both available to win the ball in midfield and hold the lead. The hosts will need to hope for more from their promising wingers in order to get a foothold in the match - or bring striker Sierhuis from the substitute’s list.
