The match is underway. Both sides will wear their home kits tonight in front of a packed crowd who are well up for this.
Hello and welcome along to tonight's live coverage of Lyon vs Paris Saint-Germain from Ligue 1.
Tonight's game promises to be a cracker with third-placed Lyon welcoming league leaders PSG to the Groupama Stadium. Lyon's faint title hopes will probably depend on a victory tonight, with their opponents 11 points clear of them in the league table.
Lyon have won four of their last five matches in all competitions and confidence is high at the moment. Bruno Genesio's men beat Guingamp 2-0 in their last encounter but PSG are flying at the moment. Unai Emery's troops have won their last eight games and they come into tonight's clash after hammering Dijon 8-0.
Tonight's TEAM NEWS coming up...
The stats ahead of kick-off favour PSG, with Lyon only winning two of the last 15 league meetings between these two. However, they have only lost once at home since November so anything could happen this evening.
Genesio makes no changes to the side that beat Guingamp, while Emery brings in four players after the comfortable win over Dijon. Dani Alves, Layvin Kurzawa, Adrien Rabiot, Kylian Mbappe all come in for Thomas Meunier, Yuri, Julian Draxler and Neymar.
PSG Starting XI (4-3-3): Areola, Alves, Marquinhos, Silva (C), Kurzawa, Verratti, Lo Celso, Rabiot, Di Maria, Mbappe, Cavani.
HALF-TIME Lyon 1-1 PSG.
Well what an incredible start and end to that first 45 minutes. Fekir caught everyone by surprise after his free-kick from long range and PSG struggled for most of the half. They lost Mbappe to injury but Kurzawa has given them a lifeline heading into the second half.
FULL-TIME Lyon 2-1 PSG.
Lyon now move to within eight points of PSG after a superb win this evening. They were the better side in the first half but Kurzawa had cancelled out Fekir's strike with the last kick of the half. PSG lost Mbappe to injury and saw Alves sent off but they thought they had done enough to get a draw. However, Depay grabbed the headlines and their fans can dream of a potential title race in Ligue 1.
PSG will learn their lessons tonight and Alves will need to apologise to the squad after his actions but Lyon gave everything to win. Their fans were right behind them from the first whistle and they were rewarded with two breathtaking goals.
That is all for tonight folks, thanks for joining us. Goodbye!
