The Parisians host the former Ligue 1 champion. Donnarumma will be absent, while Mbappe will lead the attacking line

Paris Saint-Germain host Nantes at Parc des Princes this Saturday night with a chance to go seven points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. The Parisians have won seven Ligue 1 games on the bounce, and the Nantes tie will serve them as a proper test ahead of their make-or-break Champions League group stage clash against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.

Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma will serve the first of his two-match suspension on Saturday. Spanish goalkeeper Arnau Tenas will make another appearance between the sticks for the Saints.

Brazilian centre-back Marquinhos and super-talented midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery are expected to be rested for Wednesday’s UCL clash in Germany. Unlike them, Luis Enrique is expected to line up a powerful attacking axis against Nantes led by Kylian Mbappe and with Goncalo Ramos and Marco Asensio beside him.
