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.
10'
Di Maria tries to peg a ball back to the edge of the box but Rennes can clear. The hosts are defending very narrow and are giving PSG acres of space down the channels.
8'
Kurzawa gets yet another cross away but Gomis can comfortably claim it. The left-back is getting plenty ot joy down the left flank with Traore receiving very little support from his teammate Bourigeaud in defending the channel.
6'
CHANCE! Kurzawa puts another cross into the area. Maouassa's header at the far post goes straight to Kean who lashes at it on the half-volley. He's off-balance and shoots well over the bar.
5'
Kurzawa launches a first-time cross into the area on the half-volley but no one is there to meet the wayward attempt.
4'
A sloppy touch from Kurzawa. He miscontrols the ball and lets it roll out of play before getting taunted by the Rennes subs bench for his efforts.
2'
Rennes have started brightly and are controlling these opening stages.... SHOT! Guirassy turns Marquinhos inside the box before firing on goal, but his shot from a narrow angle is wide.

Lille, last crowned champions in 2011, are looking to become the second club other than PSG to clinch the Ligue 1 title since 2013. Third-placed Monaco, on 74 points, and fourth-placed Lyon, 73, are now likely to battle it out for no more than a top-three finish for a Champions League qualification spot.

ICYMI Neymar is set to stay at Paris Saint-Germain until 2025 after signing a massive new contract extension with the French club on Saturday. The Brazilian’s four-year deal is reportedly worth over £26m per season, and ends transfer speculation of a return move to Barcelona this summer. The 29-year-old’s PSG team-mate Kylian Mbappe could also sign a new deal with the club later this month.
19:30
There will be no Eduardo Camavinga for Rennes this evening. The highly-rated 18-year-old France international midfielder is absent due to yellow card accumulation. He told TF1 in the week he has had an average season. He said: "We are not going to lie, I’ve done an average season. There have been lots of lows, I have not at all done what I needed to do. Aside from that, I have to learn from that to rebound. We have to be realistic. I know that I have not only produced good matches."
