PSG v Troyes result: Neymar on target as PSG held at home as Troyes edge closer to Ligue 1 safety

We are underway at the Parc des Princes.

Kick-off is almost upon us.

These two sides opened the season with the reverse of tonight's fixture. On matchday one, Troyes got an early goal, scoring after just nine minutes, before PSG were able to take over.

Achraf Hakimi and Mauro Icardi scored within four first-half minutes to make it 2-1 and, thanks in no small part to Keylor Navas, it stayed that way.

Only five of the starters that night are in tonight's lineup.

Tonight's visitors haven't beaten PSG in their last nine attempts in all competitions and PSG are 20 games unbeaten at home.

It was November 3rd 2001 the last time Troyes managed to beat PSG - a 1-0 win.

The Brazilian star has just 11 goals this season, his lowest return in any season of his professional career.

However, Neymar does have seven goals in his last seven games and he got a goal and an assist against Troyes back in November of 2017, the last time he faced tonight's opposition.

The perfect chance to get continue scoring?

Plenty of Troyes supporters have made the 140 mile journey to see their team in action.

Fans may be disappointed to see that neither Xavi Simons nor Edouard Michut find a place in the squad tor tonight's match.

The 19-year-olds have combined for just 14 appearances and just 456 minutes of senior football this season.

PSG's star striker starts tonight against Troyes, the team against whom he scored his first professional goal way back in the 2015-16 season.

The then 17-year-old got the third goal of a 3-1 win over Troyes as a late substitute in February 2016.

PSG's Argentinian superstar recovers in time to start tonight vs. Troyes. He missed training Saturday morning and had been in doubt.

That means the 'Fantastic Four' of Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, and Di Maria all start.

PSG: Navas - Nuno, Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Hakimi - Danilo Pereira, Verratti - Neymar, Di Maria, Mbappé, Messi

Subs: Donnarumma, Ramos, Bernat, Kehrer, Bitshiabu, Wijnaldum, Herrera, Gueye, Gharbi

Troyes: Moulin - Biancone, Brown, Conté - Kaboré, Tardieu, Kouamé, Larouci - Ripart, Chevalerin - Ugbo

Subs: Renot, El Hajjam, Salmier, Chambost, Dingome, Mazou-Sacko, Balde, Camara, Touzghar

Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of Ligue 1 as title-winners PSG host Troyes. The visitors are still not sure of avoiding relegation while Paris could match their fourth-best ever points tally if they win all their remaining fixtures.
