PSG vs Nice: TV Channel, live stream and team news as Messi set to start

Paris Saint-Germain are back in action tonight as they face Lucien Favre’s OGC Nice at the Parc Des Princes.

The Ligue 1 champions have made a fast start to proceedings as expected so far this term, picking up 22 points from a possible 24 - they sit second in the table though, after Marseille’s comfortable 3-0 defeat of Angers took them to 23 points.

Their visitors have had a less than pleasant start to the campaign, struggling to 13th position under their new boss Favre, who succeeded now PSG boss Christophe Galtier at the helm at Les Aiglons.

Galtier’s appointment has seen a real upturn in the cohesion of Les Parisiens superstar forwards, with the formidable three of Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar threatening to blow every opponent by the wayside.

The latter in particular has enjoyed a quite incredible renaissance, scoring eight and assisting seven in eight Ligue 1 matches. He is one ahead of Mbappe in the league’s scoring charts, with Messi the provider - showcasing his true ability as the primary creator.#

"Nice have had a bit of a rough start to the season," PSG boss Galtier said of his opponents in Thursday’s pre-match press conference.
