Paris Saint-Germain are back in Ligue 1 action on Saturday days after their woes on the road in Europe continued in Milan.
Luis Enrique's side succumbed to a galvanised AC Milan in midweek as they failed to take full control of Group F, leaving them without work to do to progress into the Champions League round of 16.
They're also hunting down Nice at the top of the Ligue 1 table with Francesco Farioli's side currently boasting a two-point advantage at the summit. PSG are unbeaten since they lost to the league leaders in September.
Saturday's game will undoubtedly be tough, though, especially for a side that doesn't travel particularly well. Will Still is continuing to work his magic at Reims, who sit fourth in the table following a productive run of form heading into this fixture.
Here's 90min's preview of PSG's upcoming Ligue 1 clash.

Reims will be without several players for PSG's visit but Still has so far done an excellent job of mitigating their absences.
Ibrahim Niakite, Keito Nakamura, Marshall Munesi, and Valentin Edoa will all miss Saturday's game.
Perhaps crucially, Maltese talisman Teddy Teuma is suspended due to yellow card accumulation.
Reims predicted lineup vs PSG (3-4-1-2): Diouf; Agbadou, Okumu, Abdelhamid; Foket, Matusiwa, Richardson, Wilson-Esbrand; Ito; Salama, Daramy.
The visitors will be without suspended duo Achraf Hakimi and Randal Kolo Muani. Their one-game bans trace back to their engagement in insulting chants after their victory over Marseille back in September.
Nordi Mukiele and Goncalo Ramos should deputise in their respective places.
Danilo Pereira, Keylor Navas, and Marco Asensio should all return to action after the international break, while Sergio Rico and Nuno Mendes are long-term absentees.
PSG predicted lineup vs Reims (4-2-2-2): Donnarumma; Mukiele, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez; Zaire-Emery, Fabian; Dembele, Lee; Mbappe, Ramos.
Both sides will be without key players on Saturday, but you have to think that Teuma's absence will hit Reims particularly hard. The Maltese international has been in excellent form at the start of 2023/24 and leads the Reims side with six Ligue 1 goal contributions.
While Enrique can turn to Mukiele and Ramos to replace his suspended stars, Still doesn't have an obvious option to make up for Teuma's absence.
