44'
Kurzawa's cross is cut out by Tait and Rennes try and counter with Doku almost through, but Kimpembe slides in and wins the ball off the winger before the flag goes up for offside.
43'
Neymar has a shot from range but it's well over the bar.
42'
SAVE! Neymar tries to beat Da Silva but he cannot make space to get a shot away and eventually Gomis gets down to push the ball away from the Brazilian's feet.
41'
With nowhere to go, 18-year-old Doku shoots and wins a corner off Kurzawa. Bourigeaud's cross is met by Da Silva at the far post, but his header lacked sufficient power and Navas catches it easily. PSG have had 60 per cent of the ball with both sides having had two shots on target.
39'
NO GOAL! Kean heads the ball into the net from point-blank range, but Dagba ran out of play as he put a cross in.
37'
Doku, who has been the best player on the pitch so far, flashes a dangerous cross across the goalmouth but it ricochets off Herrera for a Rennes corner. Bourigeaud's cross to the edge of the box is blocked by Herrera.
35'
Danilo appears to bundle over Guirassy who was clear through on goal on the counter-attack! But quite amazingly the referee waves play on! That looked a certain foul and perhaps even a red card for denying Rennes a clear goalscoring opportunity.
33'
Dagba's cross into the box is headed clear by Aguerd. PSG are aiming to play higher up the pitch but we are still goalless as we go past the half-hour mark.
31'
NO PENALTY! Doku goes down in the box under pressure from Kurzawa right in front of the referee but he is not having any of it. We play on. There was a bit of contact but perhaps the Rennes winger went down a bit too easily.
30'
NO GOAL! Some fine footwork from Doku in the box, he skips past Draxler before laying it off to Tait whose shot is parried by Navas. Moments later it falls to Doku whose wayward rebound is chested into the back of the net by Guirassy, but he is in an offside position. VAR has given it a check and it remains no goal.
29'
Guirassy barges into the back of Herrera and PSG have a free-kick. Mauricio Pochettino cuts a slightly stressed figure on the touchline, they absolutely must win tonight if they are to stay in the hunt for the Ligue 1 title.
27'
Kurzawa's cross to the near post is cleared behind by Da Silva and PSG have a corner. Di Maria will take it. His outswinger is nodded on goal by Marquinhos but it skids off his forehead and goes wide.
25'
SAVE! Di Maria drops the shoulder and drives a low strike on goal, but Gomis is there once again to claw it away! The Rennes goalkeeper is beginning to get tested now.
23'
Aguerd makes a fine sliding challenge on Kean and PSG have another corner. Di Maria crosses into the area but Gomis leaps up high and makes the catch.
21'
Dagba's cross is headed behind for a PSG corner. Neymar passes short anbfore getting a ball into the box which Danilo almost meets, but it skids off the turf into the arms of Gomis.
19'
PSG are looking flat and maybe their Champions League exit is still hanging over them. It’s been lacklustre stuff from the visitors so far.
17'
MISS! PSG counter and it comes to Neymar on the edge of the box, but he drags his shot wide of Gomis' right post.
16'
SHOT! Herrera has a strike on goal but Gomis makes a good save low to his right to parry it away.
15'
OH DEAR! Kimpembe brings down Tait around 30-yards from goal and Rennes have the first free-kick of the match in a dangerous position. The centre back gets a talking to from referee Ruddy Buquet but no booking. The free-kick is taken by Maouassa but it is truly awful! It flies well wide.
12'
SHOT! Doku cuts in from the left onto his right boot and his shot is a powerful one, but it's straight into the arms of Navas.
11'
CHANCE! Kurzawa surges into the box and gets to the byline, he pulls it back for Herrera but his first-time effort off his left boot flies wide! That was the best chance of the game so far.
