PSG team news
While Lionel Messi and Neymar ran riot against Clermont Foot last weekend - scoring or assisting each of PSG's five goals - Kylian Mbappe had to watch from home. The jet-heeled forward has since returned to full training after missing the opener with adductor discomfort.
The involvement of Julian Draxler (knee) and Colin Dagba (calf) remains doubtful.

PSG vs Montpellier score prediction
Theoretically, with each passing week of training under the martinet-mandate of Christophe Galtier, PSG should continue to improve across the opening months of the season.
Coupled by the potential return of the unrelenting prodigy that is Mbappe, Montpellier's rearguard - which conceded twice to a Troyes side that averaged less than one goal per game last season - may be fretting over their upcoming task.
Prediction: PSG 3-0 Montpellier
