Just days after a thrilling win in Europe, Paris Saint-Germain return to Ligue 1 action with a home clash against Reims on Saturday night.

It was an electric night at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday, as PSG beat Manchester City 4-2 to put them on the verge of reaching the Champions League knockout stages.

A ninth straight win in all competitions, that started with a vital success over Red Bull Salzburg on matchday six, means PSG now need just a point against Stuttgart next week to make absolutely sure of their progression.

Despite going 2-0 down early in the second half, the Parisians fought back, with Joao Neves scoring the goal that completed the turnaround, and Goncalo Ramos netting a late clincher.

For the time being, focus will switch back to domestic matters, and it seems only a matter of time from this point before PSG seal yet another Ligue 1 title.

After coming from behind to beat Lens last weekend, PSG then saw Marseille drop points at home to Strasbourg, meaning their lead at the top stretched out to nine points.

Still unbeaten this season after 18 games, PSG have taken 46 points from a possible 54, and are now in an almost unassailable position at the summit.

Since the start of last season, PSG have only lost two league matches, with only Bayer Leverkusen and Galatasaray suffering as few defeats in Europe's top-10 leagues in that time.

Reims could offer a threat to that record though, given that they have left the Parc des Princes with a point in both of the last two seasons.

PSG have not gone three straight home games versus a single opponent without a win since a run against Bordeaux between 2010 and 2012, illustrating just how impressive Reims' recent form has been here.

This season though, the Red and Whites have found the going tough, as they are currently in the midst of a seven-game winless run - the longest of any club in Ligue 1.

It is almost four years since Reims went on a winless streak as long as this, and their last three results in particular are cause for concern.

Defeat to Saint-Etienne and Nice saw Reims ship seven goals, before drawing at home to the most out-of-form side in Ligue 1, Le Havre, last weekend.

Away form is also a worry, given that they have taken just four points from their last five games, losing three, which is as many as they had suffered in the previous 11.

This form has seen Luka Elsner's side fall to 13th, just four points above the drop, and if they are to extend their excellent run at the Parc des Princes, they will need to be clinical in attack, because PSG have scored in 25 straight Ligue 1 games.
