Two clubs in opposite halves of the Ligue 1 table will do battle today in a league match between Paris Saint-Germain and Evian. The first-division clash scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Parc de Princes in Paris and can be live streamed here free.

Paris Saint-Germain enter today's match solidified atop the Ligue 1 table, but other matters surrounding the club remain in doubt. Rumors of Laurent Blanc exiting the club to be the newly appointed manager Manchester United were quickly dismissed by chairman Nasser al-Khelaifi. Khelaifi told French outfit L'Equipe, "Laurent Blanc will stay with us. He is very happy and there is no reason for him not to stay."

The possibility, however, of a summer transfer for midfielder Adrien Rabiot remains in doubt for Blanc (h/t to Sky Sports). "I have a lot of esteem for that boy who has a big potential," the World Cup winner told reporters at a press conference. "During the first part of the season he proved he could expect more time in the team. Unfortunately he picked up a knee injury in January and Yohan Cabaye joined the club, which was a needed reinforcement because we didn't have enough midfielders," he added.

"I can understand he is impatient, but he must not forget he belongs to a very big club and you have to be patient in life."

"I hope he will stay at the club."

With so much doubt surrounding the club's future, will Paris Saint-Germain be able to focus their abilities on a lowly Evian side this afternoon? Tell us @SportsWN

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: From a statsitical standpoint, Rabiot's contributions down the spine of Blanc's formation cannot be overlooked. Standing at 6'1", Rabiot has the frame and pace to not allow opposing player's past him. The 19-year-old has only conceded an average of 0.5 dribbles per match this season.

Paris Saint-Germain's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Sirigu; Digne, Marquinhos, Silva, Wiel; Cabaye, Rabiot, Matuidi; Lavezzi, Cavani, Pastore

Evian's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Hansen; Sabaly, Cambon, Angoula; Abdallah; Benezet, Sorlin, Bi, Wass; Berigaud, Ruben
