A defeat would give defending champion AC Milan the chance to move level at the top of the table with a victory at Empoli. With the rest of the top four teams not playing on Saturday, Napoli could move at least three points clear with a win over Torino. Union Berlin, the only undefeated team in the Bundesliga, visits Eintracht Frankfurt. The game comes before Barcelona goes to Inter Milan in the Champions League next week. Villarreal will move into the top four spots if it can win at Cádiz, which got its first victory in the last round but remains in the relegation zone. Union Berlin is the only undefeated team in the Bundesliga and visits Eintracht Frankfurt. The Gunners have won six of seven games to sit one point ahead of defending champion Manchester City and Tottenham, the league’s only two unbeaten sides.

PSG vs Nice, Ligue 1 live: Welcome to Sportstar's live blog of the Ligue 1 match between Paris Saint-Germain and Nice.

PSG kicks off the game and it is without Kylian Mbappe, who has been rested. He wins the freekick and he thumps it in. A rash of late summer signings seemed like a quick fix and created an unbalance to the side that Nice coach Lucien Favre has yet to resolve. PSG has more time on the ball and it builds up the game slowly and smoothly from the back. Nice makes a quick break, but the passing in the buildup wasn’t accurate enough and that move comes to an end. A cross is floated in from the right and it is Laborde who had the composure to take it down and pump it past Donarumma. Nice tries to regain some of the lost momentum, but it is lacking in the final pass. A bit of Messi magic was all it needed for the game’s balance to turn. It is 1-1 and it is game on! Messi and Bernat link up down the left and Messi shoots with venom, but Schmeichel had that in his sights and punched it away. Messi and Neymar stitch together a move before the Argentinian set up Vitinha to shoot. Mukiele, a second half sub, got past the defense into the right hand byline and he cuts it back for Mbappe for a simple finish.

PSG had begun the game with Mbappe only among the substitutes after his exploits for France in the UEFA Nations League and ahead of Wednesday's Champions League ...
