Paris Saint-Germain is hosting RC Lens at the Parc des Princes on Matchday 4 of the LIgue 1 McDonald's on Sunday, September 14. Ahead of the international break, Les Parisiens came out victors against Toulouse FC in a nine-goal thriller as Joao Neves bagged an splendid hat-trick.
While the European Champions are in great form, with a perfect record, they will have to do without Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué for an exended period of time as both picked up injuries with France during the international break. Both player will therefore miss PSG's Champions League debut against Atalanta next week.
See you on Sunday at home! 🏡

Additionally, Luis Enrique who suffered from a broken collarbone during the international break is expected to be with his team for this upcoming clash against Lens.
Here is Les Parisiens' predicted starting XI against RC Lens.
PSG vs Lens: Predicted Starting Lineup (4-3-3)
GK: Lucas Chevalier - Chevalier is the number one option at his position and will start against RC Lens on Sunday.
RB: Achraf Hakimi - Hakimi only featured once for Morocco during the international break, he should therefore be the one starting at the right-back position.
CB: Illia Zabarnyi - Zabarnyi should start in the heart of Paris' backline alongside Willian Pacho against Les Sangs-et-Ors. However, Marquinhos who recently celebrated his 100th appearance with Brazil could be the one associated to the Ecuadorian.
CB: Willian Pacho - Coming back from international duty, Pacho should start against Lens, unless his coach decides to give him some rest, following a long trip back from South America.
LB: Nuno Mendes - The Portuguese international left-back is a key element of Luis Enrique's system, however, he could be rested for this game after the international window, while Lucas Hernandez starts.
CDM: Vitinha - The Portuguese playmaker will be an important piece for his side as they will aim to continue their excellent form.
CM: Joao Neves - Before the international break, the Portuguese scored an amazing hat-trick. Meanwhile, he remains one of Enrique's key players and should start against Lens.
CM: Warren Zaire-Emery - The France international should earn a starting berth against Lens. Fabian Ruiz will certainly be rested at the start of this game.
RW: Bradley Barcola - With Désiré Doué being injured for the next four weeks, Barcola is set to increase his importance in Luis Enrique's team.
LW: Kvhicha Kvaratskhelia - The Georgian star shined while on international duty and should carry his form to the Parc des Princes against Lens.
ST: Gonçalo Ramos - With Ousmane Dembél sidelined for several weeks, the Portuguese striker will be expected to step up and lead PSG's offensive line.
