What They're Saying
PSG head coach Laurent Blanc (via Ligue 1): "We needed to take three points away from home at Saint-Etienne and I guarantee you there'll be pressure next Friday against Rennes too."
PSG midfielder Javier Pastore (via Ligue 1): "The title is in our hands, it only depends on us. We now have to go out to try and win every match and play well. We don't have the same attitude as last year, that's true. It's the same players, the same coach, but us, our attitude to come into a game and to want to win, that's what's different."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Pastore has done his part in an attacking role to boost PSG's title hopes. In 20 league appearances, the 25-year-old has three assists and an average of 1.3 key passes.
Paris Saint-Germain's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Sirigu; Maxwell, Luiz, Silva, Marquinhos; Pastore, Cabaye, Verratti; Cavani, Ibrahimovic, Moura
Rennes' Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Costil; Moreira, Armand, Mexer, Danze; Doucoure, Fernandes, Andre; Henrique, Toivonen, Prcic
