Looking for a PSG vs Marseille live stream? We've got you covered with our handy guide.
Bitter rivals PSG and Marseille face off at the Parc des Princes as Matchday 11 of the Ligue 1 season concludes on Sunday night.
The table-topping hosts will be hoping to snap a run of three successive draws in all competitions: Christopher Galtier's side drew 0-0 at Reims last time out in Ligue 1, between 1-1s home and away against Benfica in the Champions League. The reigning champions of France remain unbeaten in all competitions this term; they've won eight of their first 10 league games.
Fourth-placed Marseille, though, know that victory in Paris will take them level on points with PSG. Igor Tudor's team suffered their first league defeat of the season last weekend, going down 2-1 at home to struggling Ajaccio. They have won four of their last five away outings, however, and haven't gone two leagues matches without a victory since March.
Team news
With Kresnel Kimpembe out with a hamstring injury and Sergio Ramos suspended for two games following his red card against Reims, Nordi Mukiele will likely join Marquinhos and Danilo Pereira in the PSG back three. Lionel Messi has returned to training after missing the last two games with a calf issue, although this match may come too soon for him. Renato Sanches seems set to remain sidelined with a groin problem; Nuno Mendes' is out with a thigh injury.
Marseille, meanwhile, have just the one absentee: Sead Kolasinac, whose thigh injury has kept him out since the end of September.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Ligue 1 football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Ligue 1 fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, and FourFourTwo currently recommends:
