PSG will look to continue their march towards the Ligue 1 title by claiming all three points at home to rivals Lyon on Sunday.

At the moment, the defending champions are 10 points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand over Brest in second.

Lyon have improved recently after a poor first half to the season, but they are still unlikely to make the top four.
