Check out all the main stats and stories ahead of this evening's Week 5 Ligue 1 clash against Saint-Etienne at 20:45 at the Parc des Princes:
THE MATCH
Tonight is Saint-Etienne's 42nd competitive trip to the Parc des Princes, and the capital club strikers enjoy this fixture with 93 goals scored at an average of more than two per games. The symbolic 100 goal mark is not far away...
With 141 goals conceded against PSG in 82 official matches, Saint-Etienne are the second-most generous side with Paris after Lens (146 conceded by the Northern club).
In terms of the head to head, Paris are undefeated in the last 16 official meetings (12 wins and 4 draws) since the Coupe de la Ligue quarter-final loss on 27 November 2012 (0-0, on pens. 3-5). The club record is not far away either (20 matches without loss vs Angers and vs Nantes).
THE PLAYERS
Edinson Cavani must be looking forward to Friday night: he has scored 11 goals against Les Verts - his second highest total after his 12 goal haul against Monaco. El Matador has scored in the last four matches against Les Verts, edging closer to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's record of 14 goals against Saint-Etienne.
THE EXTRA
With five straight wins for Thomas Tuchel since taking over the reigns at Paris, the German has equalled Carlo Ancelloti's record. The Paris coach can make history with a sixth straight win against Saint-Etienne.
