Sports Mole looks ahead to Sunday's Ligue 1 'clasico' between Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille.

Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille meet at the Parc des Princes on Sunday in a crunch meeting at the top of Ligue 1.

The sides drew 2-2 in a tense encounter at the Stade Velodrome in October.

Carlo Ancelotti's men are three points clear of Lyon in the race for the title, but a victory for third-placed Les Phoceens will see them cut their deficit to just two points.

Les Parisiens' run of four straight wins came to an end with a 3-2 defeat to Sochaux on Sunday, while Elie Baup's side left it late to beat Valenciennes.

Neither team have any injury worries ahead of 'the clasico', but a few are in danger of incurring a suspension.

Gregory van der Wiel, Clement Chantome and Marco Verratti are walking the disciplinary tightrope for the hosts, while Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew and Nicolas Nkoulou are also one yellow away from bans.

David Beckham could make his eagerly-anticipated debut for PSG after missing out against Sochaux last week.
