Here we go! The players are back with us. Both sides can make five changes - six if it goes the extra distance. Kylian Mbappe is in the tunnel, suited up with shades on. Looks fit enough to me.

Anyone on for a winner or are we going to extra-time?

No goals at the break. I'm off to make a drink - see you in 10.

It's all got very scrappy and open. Lyon go close again as Jason Denayer heads over from a set-piece.

What a save! Lyon stand off Idrissa Gueye, not exactly a goal threat usually, and the former Everton man hits a screamer of a shot from 25 yards that is going to arrow into the top corner until Anthony Lopes throws up a hand to push it out.

And now a good chance at the other end! Marco Verratti, a class above out there, sends a lovely ball down the left for Neymar to chase. He gets there and whips the ball across the face of goal but there's nobody there to meet it.

The TV commentator has just reminded us that we could have extra time and pens tonight. No thanks.

A good chance for Lyon! They win a corner and when the ball is whipped in, Maxwel Cornet is left in oceans of space inside the area. He should at least make Kelyor Navas work but he miscues his effort rather, down into the pitch.

Mauro Icardi fires wide, well wide and in fact the offside flag was already raised. That's the first time the Argentine has been on the ball for PSG.

Give it time Dennis. Who knows what's going to go on with the fixtures this season.

Reckon it's dull supporting PSG? There's really very little going on in this game at the moment. The League Cup showpiece not doing a good job of making a case for its continuation in Paris.

Google says it's 31C and there's an orange thunderstorm warning.

It must be very hot in Paris as at the drinks break all of the players are handed a wet towel to wrap their heads in, like the end of a very satisfying curry.

I haven't missed this - Neymar is down in a heap writhing about and Maxence Caqueret goes into the book for his crime. The replay shows he just brushed the Brazilian in midfield.

Lyon having a good spell now as now Houssem Aouar slams a shot wide from the edge of the area.

PSG won this trophy for five years in a row before Strasbourg's penalty shootout win last March.

Better from Lyon, who work a crossing chance down the left and skipper Memphis Depay then slashes a volley wide at the far post.

A beauty! The first real chance of the game and Neymar is so close to opening the scoring, he flips a curler in from the edge of the area, it looks just about perfect but doesn't quite come back enough, maybe shaving the outside of the post on its way wide.

Lyon need to win this game to get into Europe for next season - if they miss out it will be no European football for the first time since 1997. Marco Verratti with the moment of the game thus far, a lovely spin turn that loses two men in a moment.

PSG are bossing the possession as you'd expect but it's all a bit pedestrian so far. Neymar tries his luck from a long way out but it's an easy save for Anthony Lopes.
