Having lost 2-0 to Rennes before the international break, Paris Saint-Germain cannot afford to let the title race blow wide open with any more losses as they welcome 10th-placed Lyon at the Parc des Princes tonight.
The elimination at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League, as well as off-field issues such as the Achraf Hakimi's assault allegations and the uncertainty surrounding Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé's futures, seem to have dampened spirits in the dressing room.
Christophe Galtier's future also looks in danger after yet another season of European failure, and a few more losses in Ligue 1 could all but seal his fate at the end of the season.
Lyon haven't won any game in their last three Ligue 1 fixtures, with each of these games ending in a stalemate. The last time Lyon won against Les Parisiens was over two years ago, and coincidentally that victory came at the Parc des Princes.
