Paris Saint-Germain welcome FC Nantes to Parc des Princes on Saturday with Mauricio Pochettino's men 10 points clear at the Ligue 1 summit as popular former player Antoine Kombouare brings his Canaris team to the French capital. Nantes are midtable and faring better than last season when they came close to relegation before making a late escape. Neymar and Lionel Messi could play some part for Les Parisiens after being included in the squad.

Star watch: Messi and Neymar status

Pochettino is without Marquinhos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Presnel Kimpembe, Julian Draxler, Rafinha and Layvin Kurzawa among others. However, Neymar and Messi are both included while Marco Verratti is also back. 

Storylines

PSG: Neymar is available to play despite picking up a knock on international duty while Messi will be hoping to finally get off the mark in Ligue 1 after a slow start. Presnel Kimpembe is still working his way back while Sergio Ramos is not quite ready to feature after his return to training and Marquinhos is also out for this one which makes things tricky in defense.

Nantes: Four wins from their last eight does not compare with PSG's six but it is still good going for a team reborn this season after a disastrous campaign last time out which saw a drop into Ligue 2 narrowly avoided late on. Despite their improved points haul, the Canaris have not been at their best on the road, and it promises to be a tough encounter. However, Nantes won in Paris back in March, so there is hope.

Prediction

The home side should win this one comfortably. With Manchester City away in the UEFA Champions League next week, Pochettino's men have one last chance to show that they are ready for what should be a decisive Group A clash. Pick: PSG 3-1 Nantes.
