    PSG have lost just one of their last 10 league away matches at Rennes, a 2-1 defeat in August 2019.

    But that improved run against today's opponents followed a five-match losing streak against Rennes in Ligue 1, during which PSG failed to score a single goal.

    Rennes v PSG (12:00 BST)

    It's eight wins from eight games for leaders Paris St-Germain in Ligue 1.

    Add to that an impressive win against Manchester City in midweek and it's all looking rather rosy for Mauricio Pochettino's side so far this term.

    Today, they travel to face 14th-placed Rennes as they look to take their 100% league record into the international break.

    Welcome!
