Your support makes all the difference.A meeting of the last two title winners in Ligue 1 takes place in Paris on Friday, as Mauricio Pochettino’s PSG take on Lille.
Now under the guidance of Jocelyn Gourvennec, Les Dogues were the surprise champions last season in France, just about holding their nerve to edge a four-team title race.
Paris Saint-Germain finished one point back, but they are flying this term domestically, unbeaten after 11 games and seven points clear, while Lille are down in 10th.
The two clubs’ directions were evidenced over summer, where PSG signed the likes of Lionel Messi, Gini Wijnaldum and Gigi Donnarumma, while LOSC sold star goalkeeper Mike Maignan, midfielder Boubakary Soumare and a handful of others, with only two senior signings made for far lower cost.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

The match kicks off at 8pm (BST) on Friday 29 October at the Parc des Princes.
