In what is a real battle between two French giants this weekend, PSG will welcome Monaco to the Parc des Princes on Sunday night.
Starting with the hosts, signing off their Champions League group stage run with a thumping 4-1 win against Club Brugge on home soil, there is no doubt that PSG will be desperate to build off of that result. While the French heavyweights might be almost cruising their way towards this season s Ligue 1 crown, Head Coach Mauricio Pochettino has seen his side endure a minor domestic wobble. Putting in what was a largely flat display away at Lens as the former champions played out a 1-1 draw, Les Parisiens have now had to settle for back-to-back top-flight stalemates. Nevertheless, opening up this weekend s fixt…
Ange Postecoglou oversaw a thrilling first win as Tottenham manager as Pape Sarr’s strike and a Lisandro Martinez own goal settled a pulsating Premier League clash with Manchester United.
Even by Spurs’ standards this has been a chastening year, with their struggles in the second half of last season compounded by homegrown star Harry Kane’s recent switch to Bayern Munich.
But former Celtic boss Postecoglou has brought new hope to Tottenham and his entertaining, new-look side sealed a fine 2-0 win thanks to Sarr’s effort and a late Martinez own goal.

Vukasin Poleksic has blasted claims that he tried to fix a 2009 Champions League game between Debrecen and Liverpool.
The Montenegro international has recently returned to action after a two-year ban for failing to report being approached to throw a tie in the same competition that year against Fiorentina.
Poleksic is alleged to have received payment from an illegal Singapore betting syndicate to concede more than two goals against the Reds, but he believes his performance on that night proves he is innocent.
Anyone who watched the match would know that what people are saying is bull, he told The Daily Mail.
We lost 1-0 at Liverpool and I played a good game. I made lots of saves: a one-on-one against Albert Riera, one from Fernando Torres, one from Ste…
Arsene Wenger will leave Arsenal at the end of the season, bringing an end to a remarkable spell in charge stretching back to October 1996.
Nicknamed Le Professeur in his early months on British shores, Wenger has certainly taught the Premier League a thing or two in an admirable stint that has given Gunners fans plenty of highs, lows and a long wait for a trophy.
The longest-serving manager in the club s history, and only second in longevity to Alex Ferguson in England s top flight, the 68-year-old has witnessed significant change in both football and the wider world during his time in north London.
Here, Omnisport looks at what things were like when Wenger took over in 1996. How times have changed

Antonio Conte will stay as Chelsea manager amid links to Inter because the challenge of taking them back into the Champions League is too good to resist, according to Marcello Lippi.
Lippi, who like Conte formerly managed Juventus and Italy, does not believe the prospect of taking the Inter job would appeal to the Stamford Bridge boss at this early stage of his career in England.
Despite the 47-year-old s continued denials, speculation still links him with a move to San Siro, while Diego Simeone is another rumoured candidate to replace Stefano Pioli as the Serie A club s Chinese owners Suning target a big name.
But Lippi, who coached Conte at Juve in his playing days, is not buying reports that that he could be tempted to leave Chelsea, even with a five-year…
Inter strengthened their position at the Serie A summit as Lautaro Martinez s late header secured a slender 2-1 win over Torino on Sunday.
The Nerazzurri never looked like scoring during a dismal first half, but they forged ahead in the 62nd minute when Romelu Lukaku slotted home from the penalty spot.
Antonio Sanabria pulled the hosts level eight minutes later, yet Inter celebrated an eighth consecutive top-flight win courtesy of Martinez s 14th league goal of the season five minutes from full-time.
The result moved Antonio Conte s side nine points clear at the top of Serie A, although Milan had the chance to restore a six-point gap by overcoming Napoli later on Sunday.
Eight in a row!
