The likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar are in ruthless form as Paris Saint-Germain are set to play their first home game of the 2022-23 Ligue 1 season when they host Montpellier at the Parc des Princes, on Saturday.
Christophe Galtier started his new job with a trophy in two games, with PSG beating Nantes 4-0 to lift the Trophee des Champions before opening their domestic campaign with a 5-0 win at Clermont. PSG's unbeaten run now stands at 10 games in all competitions.
The visiting team were last involved in a five-goal thriller as they edged Troyes 3-2 in their opening game of the season.

Montpellier squad and team news
Montpellier midfielder Jordan Ferri returns from suspension but will have to battle for a place instead of either Teji Savanier or Joris Chotard. Sacha Delaye is ruled out, while Pedro Mendes is a doubt with a muscular problem.
Stephy Mavididi had to be taken off early in the Troyes win as the forward developed a thigh problem after just 30 minutes that will keep him out of action for several weeks. However, Arnaud Nordin's recovery comes on time.
