Monaco coach Claudio Ranieri has insisted that the pressure will be on Paris Saint-Germain when his side visit the Parc des Princes on Sunday night.

Both Ligue 1's big spenders are unbeaten after five games, with Monaco top of the table after winning four of those matches in a fine start to the campaign.

Ranieri believes that the match is more important for PSG than his newly-promoted side, but declared that his new-look squad are highly motivated to claim all three points.

He told reporters: "Winning the game is more important for PSG than for us. The players are very motivated for this game, for us it will be a good test.

"I do not think PSG will suffer after their match in the Champions League, this is only the beginning of the season."

PSG head into the clash two points behind Monaco in the table, with Saint-Etienne separating the two sides in second place.
