French Ligue 1 Team Previews:PSG

Paris St-Germain are overwhelming favourites to win Ligue 1 for a third successive season. Laurent Blanc's side have made a reasonably solid start, retaining the Trophee des Champions (France's Community Shield ) and taking four points from their opening two fixtures.

Javier Pastore's bright early-season form could add another dimension to their play in midfield, but injuries to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and captain Thiago Silva have raised the issue of how dependent PSG are on the pair.

Realistically, Blanc would probably prefer his star turns to be injured now rather than at the business end of the Champions League, which is a major target.
