Toulouse vs PSG - Ligue 1: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Kylian Mbappe could make a return for PSG
- Luis Enrique searching for his first win as PSG coach
- Toulouse hampered by multiple injuries
By Euan Burns
Paris Saint-Germain did not get off to the best start under Luis Enrique last weekend as they dropped points at home to Lorient, only managing a 0-0 draw. They are looking to rectify that when they go away to Toulouse on Saturday evening.
This is a new era for PSG with Neymar and Lionel Messi now no longer a part of the team but progress has been made in the stand-off with Kylian Mbappe.
The World Cup Golden Boot winner is back in training, but that does not mean that he necessarily features here, although some think he could start. Enrique has got a lot of talented stars in the squad that he is expected to give minutes to this season and he may need to show some faith in the early stages.
Here is all that you need to know about PSG's trip to Toulouse for their second Ligue 1 game of the season.

Toulouse team news
There are a lot of injuries for Toulouse to worry about at the moment, as all of Ibrahim Cissoko, Junior Flemmings, Kevin Keben, Ado Onaiwu, Naatan Skytta and Oliver Zanden are going to be absent for PSG's visit.
The assumption is that Toulouse will still be using a 4-3-3 despite the absences of so many players. PSG will need to keep an eye on Thijs Dallinga, the Dutch striker who netted 18 goals in purple last season.

PSG team news
Mbappe is now back in first-team training at PSG which in theory means he is likely to be involved on the pitch at some point in the near future.
There were lots of debuts for new players at PSG last weekend but given the Lorient match did not exactly go to plan, changes are likely to take place. Juan Bernat, Presnel Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes, Nordi Mukiele and Sergio Rico are all going to be out injured here.

Toulouse vs PSG score prediction
As reigning Coupe de France champions, Toulouse are not a team that are expected to be battling it out at the bottom of Ligue 1 this season. But the side that finished 13th last term is severely depleted by injuries.
When you factor in that Mbappe could start the game as well, Toulouse's job just gets even harder. There is a lot of attacking firepower in that PSG team and Mbappe is the level of player that will almost certainly just hit the ground running as soon as he comes back.
