Paris Saint-Germain welcome AS Monaco to Parc des Princes on Sunday with Les Parisiens 11 points clear at the Ligue 1 summit and Les Monegasques improving in seventh and within reach of the European places. PSG lost home and away to Monaco last season while Mauricio Pochettino’s men are in better overall domestic form than Niko Kovac’s side this term.

Team news
PSG: Neymar and Julian Draxler have very likely played their final matches of 2021 due to injury. Sergio Ramos has not trained lately and will probably miss out again.
ASM: Cesc Fabregas has not played since late September due to injury.
Storylines
PSG: Unbeaten in eight domestically, it has not been as smooth as start to the season as results would suggest. A recent thumping of Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League hints that the corner might finally have been turned in terms of performances.
ASM: Without defeat in five games and coming off the back of a good showing in the UEFA Europa League group stage which saw them win Group B, Monaco are stronger now than they were at the start of the season when results and displays were equally inconsistent. Like last term, the men from the principality may well grow in strength as the campaign wears on.
Prediction
The hosts should have enough to win this, but the visitors have the weapons to do damage at Parc des Princes. Monaco won both meetings last season so do not write them off here. Pick: PSG 2-1 ASM.
