- Manager Luis Enrique expected to name a largely unchanged team

By Euan Burns
Paris Saint-Germain face a potentially tricky fixture in Ligue 1 on Sunday as they travel to face Brest, who have enjoyed a great start to the 2023/24 season.
Luis Enrique's side started the campaign poorly but have found some form now, winning three of their last four league games and two of their three Champions League group matches, most recently an easy 3-0 home victory over AC Milan.
With a number of players still out injured, Enrique is expected to name an XI similar to that which won the Milan game.
Here's the team he may choose to secure a win for PSG against Brest in Ligue 1.
Paris Saint-Germain predicted lineup vs Brest (4-3-3)
GK: Gianluigi Donnarumma - He is always likely to be the number one but with Keylor Navas and Sergio Rico out, Donnarumma's starting XI place is more than safe.
RB: Achraf Hakimi - Part of this very consistently selected defence, Hakimi is easily fending off any competition from Nordi Mukiele right now.
CB: Marquinhos - Presnel Kimpembe is back in training so the pressure may ramp up for the defenders, but Marquinhos will start against Brest.
CB: Milan Skriniar - Similarly, Skriniar will be aware of the increased competition for places but has impressed since his summer move from Inter.
LB: Lucas Hernandez - Got the pleasure of facing and beating brother Theo on Wednesday night and will be in action again on Sunday.
CM: Warren Zaire-Emery - With yet another Champions League game under his belt at 17 years old, Zaire-Emery got two assists against Milan and genuinely looks set to become one of the best midfielders in the world.
CM: Manuel Ugarte - Another of PSG's successful summer signings, Ugarte got stick for his display against Newcastle but has been largely impressive this season.
CM: Vitinha - Another player who looked extremely assured against Milan, Vitinha is doing really well to hold his place in midfield.
RW: Lee Kang-in - Enrique may let Lee start in place of Ousmane Dembele for the sake of rotation after the South Korean got his first PSG goal in midweek.
ST: Randal Kolo Muani - He grabbed the second goal against Milan and was linking up very well with Mbappe, furthering his position as the main striker over Goncalo Ramos.
LW: Kylian Mbappe - His goal against Milan was very on-brand and he will surely get on the scoresheet again this weekend.
