What They're Saying

PSG manager Laurent Blanc (via Goal): "He [Zlatan Ibrahimovic] has some soreness of course, but that's normal. He's been training and now he's able to make the team. You'll see him in the squad."

Marco Verratti, however, is a different story. The Italian international pulled out of the squad during the international break due to an adductor injury and will again be unavailable. Doubts also remain over Blaise Matuidi's availability (hand).

"Verratti will certainly be missing against Metz, but we have hope he will recover quickly," Blanc added. "Blaise will be a tight call."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: FC Metz's Florent Malouda has been influential in the club's early season success. In eight league appearances, the 34-year-old has one goal and two assists.

FC Metz's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Carrasso; Bussmann, Choplin, Marchal, Metairie; N'Daw, Kashi; Lejeune, Malouda, N'Gbakoto; Maiga

Evian's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Sirigu; Maxwell, Marquinhos, Silva, Wiel; Rabiot, Motta, Cabaye; Lavezzi, Ibrahimovic, Pastore
