Linas-Montlhery play their football in the sixth division of French football and will have their work cut out this evening against the Ligue 1 champions. Having entered the Coupe de France in the second round, they have since beaten La Fleche RC and Evreux to reach this stage of the competition, twice coming from behind to see off their opponents in 3-2 and 3-1 victories respectively.
PSG were beaten on penalties by Rennes in the final of the Coupe de France last season after allowing a two-goal lead to slip. Christopher Nkunku was the unfortunate man to miss from the spot to end the club's run of four straight cup triumphs. Thomas Tuchel's men embark on a new campaign and will be determined to ease through to the next round with as little drama as possible in their return to action following the winter break.
The players are out on the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
PSG's frontline are working well in the final third. There should be more goals in the offing in the second half and they have an opportunity to provide Tuchel with a reminder there is plenty of quality depth in his squad.
Linas-Montlhery's journey in the Coupe de France ends for another season, while PSG are next in action in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue against Saint-Etienne at home on Wednesday.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
