Paris Saint-Germain return to domestic action with a trip up north to play fourth-placed Lille on Sunday, days after nail-bitingly securing Champions League progress.

Luis Enrique and his charges now face a stern test against the 2020-21 Ligue 1 champions following Wednesday's 1-1 draw in Dortmund, which booked their spot in the knockout stages of Europe's top club competition.

With their season practically hanging in the balance heading into the clash away to Borussia Dortmund, PSG must quickly turn their attentions back to the nitty-gritty of league football as they seek to win a third straight championship.

The visitors sit top of the table on 36 points, four ahead of Nice in second and nine ahead of this weekend's opponents, and their form since last losing in September has been imperious.
