Preview: Paris Saint-Germain vs. Saint-Etienne

Sports Mole previews the Ligue 1 encounter between Paris Saint-Germain and Saint-Etienne.

Paris Saint-Germain manager Laurent Blanc has selection issues for the visit of Saint-Etienne on Sunday evening.

Blanc is without the suspended Yohan Cabaye, while there is still a doubt over striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, despite the Swede returning to training after an abdominal strain.

Defensive pair Gregory van der Wiel and Thiago Silva could also miss the game with back and thigh problems as PSG look to improve on last week's disappointing 0-0 draw at Evian.

Saint-Etienne have followed their impressive campaign last year by taking seven points from their opening three league fixtures this season.

Les Verts lost their 100% record last week against Rennes, but manager Christophe Galtier will be confident that his team can take advantage of PSG's lacklustre start to Ligue 1.

Galtier is likely to retain the same starting lineup for the match at the Parc des Princes.
