Two clubs in the top half of the Ligue 1 table will do battle today in a league match between AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain. The first-division clash scheduled for 3 p.m. ET will be held at the Stade Louis II in Monaco and can be live streamed here free.
What They're Saying
Monaco manager Leonardo Jardim (via Ligue 1): "Nice made a great start, but after the 25th-minute, we controlled the game."
PSG manager Laurent Blanc: "What annoys me is that people make assumptions when a player isn't confident and is playing to his full potential. Thiago Silva isn't a young player, he's not a child. We know what he's capable of. The World Cup in Brazil was a disappointment he had to get over, but to doubt his potential was unfair and he needed help rather than being put down. He's becoming the player he was once again."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Silva is still enjoying a productive campaign at the club level for PSG. In 17 league appearances, the 30-year-old is averaging 2.6 tackles and 7.3 clearances.
Monaco's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Subasic; Kurzawa, Wallace, Toulalan, Toure; Kondogbia, Fabinho; Carrasco, Moutinho, Silva; Berbatov
Paris Saint-Germain's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Sirigu; Maxwell, Silva, Marquinhos, Wiel; Matuidi, Luiz, Verratti; Pastore, Cavani, Lavezzi
