Good evening and welcome to our live text coverage of the Ligue 1 match between Marseille and PSG from the Stade Vélodrome. Also known as Le Classique - French football's biggest rivalry! Les Olympiens have endured an awful start to 2021, failing to win any of their last six games, losing their manager Andre Villas-Boas after he was dissatisfied with the club's recruitment and having their training ground violently attacked by their fans. They will be looking to get their revenge for losing in the Trophée des Champions 2-1 to PSG in mid-January - a tough ask considering the Parisians sit six league places ahead in third. We will be bringing you all the build-up, highlights and talking points from the match tonight, so stay tuned ahead of kick-off at 20:00.

End of 2nd Half
90+4'
FULL-TIME: Marseille 0-2 PSG
After some late, hopeful attacks from Marseille, they struggled to reverse the deficit and they suffer their third consecutive home defeat due to two early first half goals from PSG. Neither side played particularly well or especially badly either, but the quality of finishing really counted in the Parisians' favour.
90+1'
HE'S OFF!! Horrendous challenge from Payet, going studs up into Verratti's chest! He left the ref with no choice but to send him off and that caps off for a woeful night for the him.

87'
Payet's night is summed up with an awfully wayward pass into the box that went straight to the feet of an opposition player. No clue who he was aiming for!
85'
SAVED!! Henrique drives forward from midfield and aims a low shot at the near post but Rico easily gets both hands to it for the save.
84'
PSG attack through Sarabia, who pulls it back for Neymar, but he skies his close-range effort.
83'
Time is really starting to run out for Marseille now. Get the feeling that the introduction of Henrique was the lost roll of the dice for them.
82'
CHANCE!! Sakai has the ball in the box but is unable to maintain full control over it, meaning that Rico can come out and capture it himself.
78'
Thauvin is also off, with young Brazilian winger Luis Henrique on in his place.

Gonzalez is off for Lucas Perrin. He looked to have picked up an injury around 10 minutes ago but had been moving fine since. Perhaps it's a precaution or maybe Larguet just wanted fresh legs on the pitch.

Neymar runs at the Marseille defence menacingly, but ultimately his shot from range is comfortably over too.
73'
Payet sends a shot sailing over. He's really flattered to deceive tonight, getting a lot of touches on the ball but failing to do anything productive with it.
66'
For the second change, Danilo Pereira replaces Paredes in the midfield three.

63'
Marseille are forced to retake their free-kick after taking it too quickly the first time. But they waste it anyway, amidst claims it hit Kurzawa's arm.
62'
Florenzi loses his composure and overcooks his cross, which embarrassingly ends up going out for a throw-in on the other side.
61'
Great vision from Payet to try and play it through to Thauvin, but Kurzawa has the pace to beat him and slide it out for a corner.
60'
After a VAR check, the referee rules no penalty and Sakai is deemed to have not fouled Icardi.
60'
Sakai might be in trouble! Mbappe plays in Kurzawa, who passes it cross-goal but Icardi appears to be brought down in the middle of the box by Sakai, thus preventing him from making contact with it.
