Angel Di Maria has produced a handful of matchwinning performances for Paris Saint-Germain already this season. The Argentina international has two goals and three assists in eight Ligue 1 appearances so far this term.

He was unable to provide a spark for PSG after coming on as a substitute in midweek against Manchester City. Di Maria will be keen to impress here. His ability to weave intricate passes in and around the final third could prove to be a real asset for PSG on Sunday against Saint-Etienne.

It hasn't been a great season for Neymar Jr. The Brazilian international has scored three goals and provided three assists in nine Ligue 1 appearances so far but he has not consistently delivered the goods for his side.

Neymar has also not hit the heights we all know he is capable of this term. It looks like one of those seasons where a solid performance could help him kick into gear. Sunday's game against Saint Etienne will be a great opportunity for Neymar to bounce back after an underwhelming outing against Manchester City.

PSG need Neymar at his best if they are to maximize their potential and mount a challenge on all fronts this season.

Striker - Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe has been in sublime form of late. He has scored a whopping 11 goals and provided eight assists in his last 10 matches for club and country. Mbappe opened the scoring for PSG against Manchester City.

He has been Paris Saint-Germain's best player this season by a mile. Mbappe is capable of producing the spectacular and has that X-factor which enables him to change a game on its head all by himself.

The Frenchman has scored nine goals and provided 12 assists in 18 appearances across all competitions for PSG this term. He has to be the first name on the teamsheet these days for Mauricio Pochettino.
