Friday night in Paris sees defending champions PSG host early Ligue 1 leaders Monaco.
Luis Enrique’s men needed another dramatic comeback to rescue a draw at Lille, leaving the Parisians without a win from their opening two league fixtures.
Monaco maintained their perfect start with a convincing victory against Marseille and have now won all four competitive matches this term.
With the visitors in fine form and PSG yet to hit top gear, a competitive encounter should be on the cards at Parc des Princes.

Monaco secured a stunning 3:1 win on their last visit to Paris earlier this year.
Paris Saint-Germain team overview
PSG come into Friday’s Ligue 1 contest after again fighting back to claim a 2:2 draw against Lille last weekend. Trailing by two with just minutes remaining, Vitinha reduced the deficit with an excellent long-range effort before setting up Marquinhos for a dramatic equaliser.
Sunday’s share of the spoils was the second successive weekend that the champions recovered from two goals behind to claim a 2:2 draw.
Despite those unconvincing results, PSG remain the team to beat in both France and Europe. Still, the back-to-back Champions League winners failed to win their last three games, while they have won only one of their past six competitive fixtures (in 90 minutes).
A lack of clean sheets remains a concern for the Parisiens. Enrique’s men conceded at least one goal in all but two of their last 11 competitive contests.
Head coach Enrique has a few selection issues this weekend. Nuno Mendes remains suspended, while João Neves is expected to miss out through illness.
Ousmane Dembélé faces a late fitness test after sitting out last weekend’s draw so summer signing Frerran Torres should continue to spearhead the PSG attack.

Monaco team overview
Monaco arrive in Paris full of confidence after Paris Brunner’s brace secured an impressive 2:0 success against Marseille at Stade Louis-II on Sunday.
Despite registering only 34% possession, Filipe Luís’s side were worthy winners against a flat Marseille side.
Les Rouges et Blanc have made a strong start to their season, having kicked-off the Ligue 1 campaign with a 1:0 road win at Le Havre. Monaco have now won each of four competitive fixtures completed.
European progress has added to the positive mood. Luis’s men eased to a comfortable 7:3 aggregate win against Polish opponents Gornik to ensure their place in the Conference League, league phase.
Head coach Luis has a handful of expected absentees this weekend. Takumi Minamino, Ansu Fati, Mohammed Salisu and Edan Diop are expected to remain unavailable through injury.
Folarin Balogun also misses out but remains at the club following the collapse of his proposed deadline day transfer to Everton.
Paris Brunner should retain his place in attack after scoring three goals in his last two appearances.
