20' Mbappe drills in a low cross that ricochets off Icardi before bouncing harmlessly into the arms of Oukidja.
19' Chance! Mendes swings in an inviting delivery across the face of goal. Icardi stretches to try and poke it in, but he agonisingly misses the ball!
17' Yade's deep free-kick is headed clear by Marquinhos.
15' Mbappe's been causing Metz all sorts of problems so far. He's taken two shots while missing three chances.
13' Mbappe and Icardi work a clever interchange on the edge of the box, before Mbappe drills a low effort wide from 20 yards.
11' Save! Mbappe has a huge chance to double the lead. The attacker latches onto Rafinha's threaded pass, before proceeding to try and round the goalkeeper. However, Oukidja anticipates the move and pounces on the ball at Mbappe's feet!
9' This has been an excellent start for PSG. They looked unconvincing against Lyon despite their win last time out, but their attack has looked incisive and sharp so far today.
7' Chance! It's almost two for PSG. Neymar finds Mbappe in space on the edge of the box, and the attacker slices his 20-yard strike high and wide under little pressure.
3' Metz slice through PSG early on. Maiga sets Gueye free with a delightful throughball, and the winger is away from Mendes! However, he hurries his cross and Kimpembe contorts himself to head clear.
1' PSG get the first half underway.
The players are emerging from the tunnel and kick off is just seconds away!
Metz have lost their last 10 Ligue 1 games against PSG, their longest run against a single opponent in the top-flight. The last time Metz didn’t lose in Ligue 1 to them was back in August 2007 (0-0 at home).
PSG, on the other hand, make six changes after beating Lyon last time out. The main headline is that Messi isn’t fit enough to be in the squad today. Di Maria, Gueye, Herrera, Kehrer and Donnarumma also drop out with Icardi, Rafinha, Wijnaldum, Pereira, Hakimi and Navas coming in.
Metz make one change to the side that lost to Strasbourg last time out: De Preville makes way for Gueye in attack.
SUBS: Julian Draxler, Idrissa Gueye, Eric Ebimbe, Abdou Diallo, Angel Di María, Leandro Paredes, Ander Herrera, Thilo Kehrer, Gianluigi Donnarumma.
PSG (4-3-3): Keylor Navas; Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes; Rafinha, Danilo Pereira, Georginio Wijnaldum; Kylian Mbappe, Mauro Icardi, Neymar.
SUBS: Nicolas de Preville, Warren Tchimbembe, Farid Boulaya, Amine Bassi, Opa Nguette, Sikou Niakate, Boubacar Traore, Sofiane Alakouch, Marc-Aurele Caillard.

PSG, meanwhile, are top of the table. They have a 100 per cent winning record in the league and – despite concerns over the cohesion between their iconic frontline of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe – they’ll be expecting seven wins from seven today.
Hello and welcome to live commentary of this Ligue 1 fixture between Metz and PSG. The hosts enter this one following a tough start to the season. They’re winless after their first six league games and find themselves bottom of the table – today would be the perfect moment to stun PSG with a win.
