PSG team news
A big blow for PSG is the absence of star forward Kylian Mbappe, who is facing a race to be fit in time for the Champions League last 16 tie with Bayern Munich later in February.
The squad is stretched elsewhere for Christophe Galtier, with Sergio Ramos likely to be omitted and Marco Verratti still suspended. Neymar also has a groin problem and won't start training until early next week.
Centre back Presnel Kimpembe is back in training but may not be risked in the starting XI after recovering from an Achilles problem.

PSG vs Toulouse score prediction
This is a much tougher than PSG would like to face this weekend. with Toulouse winning four of their last five Ligue 1 games having lost four previous four in a row.
With such injuries and absences to contend with, PSG need a convincing performance given their lead at the top of the table is not as insurmountable as usual.
Dropped points on Saturday would give Marseille and Lens the opportunity to gain some ground later in the weekend. Toulouse will undoubtedly cause the hosts problems and could leave France's capital with a point.
