"Every Friday I will pick the weekend's best or most exciting games that are not to be missed in the world of football. From derbies to top-of-the-table clashes, relegation six-pointers to world-class players facing each other or other interesting tactical battles, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. This week, it is all about top (or near top) of the table clashes, so let's get right into it!"
"Still, their form has not been great since the arrival of Sebastien Pocognoli on the bench (two wins in six in the league). The return of Paul Pogba and the good form of Folarin Balogun (four goals in his past six games in all competitions) are the only good news for the club from the Principality. Their captain, Denis Zakaria, is also suspended for Saturday's big clash."
"Ousmane Dembélé came back from injury in their victory against Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, and for all the problems in midfield Monaco currently have, PSG respond with the great form of their trio of Vitinha (coming off a hat trick against Spurs), João Neves (Paris' best player this season) and Fabián Ruiz (Mr. Always Reliable)."
Selections concentrate on top or near-top table clashes across European competitions, including derbies, relegation six-pointers, and tactical battles. Champions League standings were reshuffled after matchday five, with Barcelona struggling and Arsenal occupying first place, prompting questions about Chelsea's title credentials. Ligue 1 Matchday 14 features Monaco hosting PSG; Monaco have won two of six league games since Sebastien Pocognoli's appointment, while Paul Pogba has returned and Folarin Balogun is in form. PSG benefit from Ousmane Dembélé's return and the strong performances of Vitinha, João Neves and Fabián Ruiz. Maghnes Akliouche is a transfer target for PSG.
