We're underway at the Stade de la Licorne!
Hello everyone and welcome to tonight's live coverage of the Ligue 1 clash between Amiens and Paris Saint-Germain.
Christophe Pelissier's troops are 13th ahead of kick off after just one defeat in their last seven matches. They have three wins during that time but were held to a 0-0 draw last time out by Monaco.
Unai Emery's men wrapped up the Ligue 1 title last month after hammering Monaco but they are still on the lookout for more points as they look to set some records. PSG are unbeaten in nine but they were disappointing last time out in their 2-2 draw with Guingamp.
Tonight's TEAM NEWS coming up...
Amiens Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Regis Gurtner, Issa Cissokho, Khaled Adenon, Bakaye Dibassy, Danilo Avelar, Thomas Monconduit, Bongani Zungu, Quentin Cornette, Gael Kakuta, Harrison Manzala, Moussa Konate.
Paris Saint-Germain Starting XI (4-3-3): Alphonse Areola, Thomas Meunier, Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe, Layvin Kurzawa, Giovani Lo Celso, Thiago Motta, Christopher Nkunku, Angel Di Maria, Edinson Cavani, Javier Pastore.
PSG SUBS: Kevin Rimane, Adrien Rabiot, Dani Alves, Kylian Mbappe, Lass Diarra, Berchiche Yuri, Kevin Trapp.
Two changes for Amiens, El Hajjam and Prince-Desir Gouano drop out for Cissokho and Dibassy as Pelissier tries to get more out of his team. Emery has made four alterations for this evening, with Alves, Thiago Silva, Julian Draxler and Mbappe all dropping out.
Not long to go then until kick off, with both teams now back in the dressing rooms.
HALF-TIME - Amiens 0-1 PSG.
Cavani's goal is the difference at the interval but they could well be further in front if it was not for Gurtner in the Amiens goal. The home side started well but the quality in the final third finally told and Emery will be expecting more in the second half.
PSG have not had to get out of second gear just yet but Emery will be urging them to not get complacent.
FULL TIME - Amiens 2-2 PSG.
PSG dominated possession as expected but Amiens deserve so much credit for their attitude tonight. They were pegged back on two occasions but fought valiantly to ensure they can look forward to top flight football for another year. Emery's side need to regroup before the Coupe de France final but they will be confident of getting the job done on Tuesday.
That is all tonight folks, thanks again for joining us. Goodbye!
Amiens confirm their place in Ligue 1 for next season and also deny PSG the chance to reach 100pts in doing so. They have taken their foot off the gas in recent weeks and have been punished accordingly.
