Defending champions Paris Saint-Germain receive Nice at the Parc des Princes as Ligue 1 matches resume this weekend after the international break. The Parisians are unbeaten this season in the league and they are the team to beat by far. Christophe Galtier's team has not only scored the most goals, but also has the best defense in the French Ligue 1. Having lost only two points from their first eight matches, Nice will be hard-pressed to get a result that night. The Nice club side have had a tough season so far and have won only two of their first eight matches.

Nice can make a surprise in their day but they haven't started this season yet. The PSG shock would be a good place to start for Favre and his teammates.

Aaron Ramsey is also nursing a hamstring injury and is sure to start the night. He is likely to settle for a seat on the bench. Lucien Favre is a veteran of the game and will be keen to extend his team's three-game undefeated streak of champions, something not many French clubs can claim.
