They have taken four points from their last three group matches, beating Qarabag at home on October 22 and drawing with Slavia Prague on either side of a loss to Newcastle United."

They also suffered a home defeat to Bayern Munich in November. Despite this, 12 points from five matches keeps them second in the table, just three points behind leaders Arsenal. PSG lead the competition in goals scored, with 19 so far."
