Nice seek response

this season.

“We had the break to clear our minds. Saint-Etienne will be a big match.

“It’s our job to eradicate the bad things from the last few games. We want to restart well,” midfielder Wylan Cyprien told Canal+ Sport.

Despite the growing pains under new boss Unai Emery, fourtime reigning champions PSG could also climb above Nice with a victory over Nantes at the Parc des Princes today.

“The fact is that we’re third in the league and our start to the season hasn’t been as good as we had hoped it would be,” Emery wrote recently in an open letter to the club’s fans on his website.

“But the progress the team have made reinforces our optimism. We’re aware that it’s tough to win, then win again and then keep on winning, and we know that Ligue 1 is a competitive championship.”

The Spaniard will be without midfielder Adrien Rabiot for three weeks after he tore his hamstring while making his international debut for France in midweek, while Thiago Motta plans to leave PSG at the end of the season.

PSG face Arsenal in London on Wednesday with top spot in Champions League Group A at stake.

Marseille host Caen tomorrow still searching for their first win under new coach Rudi Garcia.
