Paris Saint-Germain are aiming to extend their sizeable lead at the top of Ligue 1 on Friday as they travel to Monaco.
The French giants are 11 points ahead of second-placed Brest at present and can move 16 away from their next closest challengers Monaco with victory this Friday. The current Ligue 1 champions enjoyed a pretty handsome 5-2 win last time these two met, although the principality side do have a strong record in this fixture in recent seasons.
PSG did actually drop points for only the second time in 2024 last weekend, needing a 97th-minute Goncalo Ramos penalty to avoid defeat at home to Rennes. Luis Enrique was subject to some criticism for his decision to substitute Kylian Mbappe with 25 minutes to play at Parc des Princes, but his side managed to earn a point regardless of the French superstar's absence.
