Two of the most prominent clubs in France meet on Friday night when Paris Saint-Germain host title hopefuls Monaco at Parc des Princes.

The reigning Ligue 1 champions are perched at the top of France's top flight, three points ahead of Monaco who sit in third. Adi Hutter's side aren't in Europe this season, having only finished sixth in 2023/24.

Paris Saint-Germain team news
Breakout young star Warren Zaire-Emery had a very mixed international break. The 17-year-old scored on his senior France debut but also suffered a significant ankle injury which will keep him out of action until 2024.
Presnel Kimpembe is back in training but won't be rushed back from the Achilles tendon problem he picked up back in February.
Marquinhos injured his hamstring while playing for Brazil and admitted it would be "difficult" for him to play on Friday night. Danilo Pereira missed three games before the international break, leaving manager Enrique short on options in central defence.
Paris Saint-Germain predicted lineup vs Monaco
Paris Saint-Germain predicted lineup vs Monaco (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Mukiele, Skriniar, Hernandez; Vitinha, Ugarte, Ruiz; Dembele, Kolo Muani, Mbappe.
Monaco team news
France midfielder Youssouf Fofana is suspended in a rather large blow for manager Hutter, who is also without Myron Boadu, Mohammed Salisu and Eliesse Ben Seghir in the short term.
There will be worries over the extensive travelling of stars like Folarin Balogun, Takumi Minamimo and Guillermo Maripan during the November international break. If Balogun is a little jaded, Ligue 1 stalwart Wissam Ben Yedder may get the nod up front.
Monaco predicted lineup vs Paris Saint-Germain
Monaco predicted lineup vs Paris Saint-Germain (3-4-3): Kohn; Singo, Maripan, Magassa; Diatta, Zakaria, Camara, Jakobs; Minamino, Ben Yedder, Golovin.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Monaco score prediction
PSG are beginning to find their feet but losses in the Champions League to Newcastle and Milan still hint at some defensive deficiencies that could be exploited by Monaco on Friday night, especially with a few key players out injured.
Monaco were disappointing in their last outing, needing a penalty save from goalkeeper Philipp Kohn in the 100th minute to preserve a goalless draw at Le Havre, and will have to show more teeth in the final third to come away from Parc des Princes with any points.
There could be some tired legs with this game coming so soon after the international break and that could result in a fair few goals being scored, with PSG the favourites to take the win.
Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 Monaco
