Recently crowned champions PSG welcome Le Havre to the Parc des Princes for a French Ligue 1 clash on Saturday. With the title already secured, the Parisians are chasing history as they look to finish the season unbeaten and should have too much for the relegation-threatened visitors.

PSG head into this fixture after a 3-2 loss to Aston Villa in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final. Despite the setback, their 3-1 win in the first leg secured a 5-4 aggregate victory and a place in the semi-finals.

On the Domestic front, PSG remain unbeaten and sealed the Ligue 1 title with a 1-0 victory over Angers in their previous fixture. Luis Enrique’s men are the leading scorers in Ligue 1 this season and have scored three or more goals in three of their last four home matches in the league.

Le Havre are currently in the bottom three but are showing some fight in their quest for survival. Didier Digard’s men have won two of their last three Ligue 1 matches but were thrashed 5-1 at home by Reims in their previous fixture.

The visitors have been particularly impressive on their travels, and have won three of their last four away matches. However, a 4-2 defeat to Lyon is among their results in that run, which highlights a poor record against the big sides.

PSG have a 14-3 advantage with five draws from 22 previous matches with Le Havre. The Parisians eased to a 4-1 away victory in the reverse fixture, with Bradley Barcola among the goals.

PSG have a fully fit squad available, but with a Champions League semi-final coming up in two weeks, certain players could be rested. Bradley Barcola, Goncalo Ramos and Lee Kang-In are among those likely to feature in the line-up.
Yanis Zouaoui and Antoine Joujou are still out injured for Le Havre, however, Toure, Andre Ayew and Junior Mwanga are expected to keep their spots in the line-up.

PSG: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Beraldo, Hernandez, Mendes, Kang-In, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Barcola, Doue, Ramos.
Le Havre: Gorgelin, Pembele, Lloris, Sangante, Nego, Mwanga, Toure, Soumare, Kechta, Casimir, Ayew.
