LIVE: PSG vs Nantes

PSG have won 17 of their last 18 Ligue 1 meetings with Nantes, with the only defeat coming away from home in April 2019.

Following the 1-1 draw with Barcelona, Pochettino makes five changes for this encounter. Diallo, Dagba, Danilo Pereira, Rafinha and Di Maria replace Florenzi, Kurzawa, Gueye, Paredes and Icardi in the starting XI. Nantes coach Antoine also makes alterations to his side after the 2-1 defeat to Reims, as Corchia and Louza drop out for Pallois and Coco.

SUBS: Quentin Merlin, Abdoul Kader Bamba, Imran Louza, Kalifa Coulibaly, Denis Petric, Batista Mendy, Abdoulaye Sylla, Renaud Emond, Anthony Limbombe.

NANTES (4-4-1-1): Alban Lafont; Nicolas Pallois, Andrei Girotto, Jean-Charles Castelletto, Charles Traore; Moses Simon, Pedro Chirivella, Abdoulaye Toure, Marcus Coco; Ludovic Bias, Randal Kolo Muani.

SUBS: Leandro Paredes, Idrissa Gueye, Mitchel Bakker, Timothee Pembele, Pablo Sarabia, Sergio Rico, Thilo Kehrer, Mauro Icardi, Layvin Kurzawa.

PSG (4-3-3): Keylor Navas; Abdou Diallo, Presnel Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Colin Dagba; Marco Verratti, Danilo Pereira, Rafinha; Angel Di Maria, Kylian Mbappe, Julian Draxler.

While PSG are aiming for another Ligue 1 title, Nantes are desperate for points at the opposite end of the table. They are 19th at present and three points from safety after a run of three games without success.

Mauricio Pochettino's PSG are unbeaten in four ahead of kick-off, thanks to their midweek draw with Barcelona in the Champions League. Confidence should be high in their camp as they booked their place in the quarter-finals of the competition.
