What They're Saying
PSG manager Laurent Blanc (via Ligue 1); "I don't know if playing a Champions League match on a Wednesday is ideal preparation [for this match], but winning helps you recover better. We have dropped points in games this season, but the fact we are playing in the Champions League has prevented us from picking up as many as we maybe deserve. It's certainly an advantage for Marseille, and the more games you play, the more you expose yourself to the risk of picking up injuries."
Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda: "Things have been a bit difficult for us recently after losing two games in a row, so it was important for our confidence to get back to winning ways [against Lens]."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: PSG's Marco Verratti has been the defensive bite in the club's midfield. The 22-year-old is averaging 2.7 tackles and 1.7 interceptions in 11 league appearances.
