Paris Saint-Germain welcome Bastia on Saturday afternoon, knowing that a win will put them top of Ligue 1.

Laurent Blanc's side are currently second on goal difference but with Moncao not playing until Sunday, they have the chance to go top.

They are the form side in the league too, winning at Marseille last time out. However they will be without Thiago Motta, who was sent off in that game.

Bastia are in mid-table after picking up their first win in five games before the international break, cruising past Lorient 4-1.
