Another woeful result last weekend has heaped more pressure on the PSG manager, as they were held at home by lowly Nantes.

PSG had gone nine matches without a win and were in the midst of a four-game losing run, but still took a point from the Parc des Princes, with the Canaries flattering to deceive again.

Despite recording 84% possession, the hoghest tally seen in Ligue 1 in 17 years, amassing 24 shots and an XG of 2.56, that still was not enough to win all three points for PSG.

Fortunately, Monaco lost last weekend, so PSG actually extended their lead at the top to seven points, and remain unbeaten in Ligue 1 this season, but placed in context, Enrique is still in trouble.

Oncee again, a league game will take the backseat with preparation for their trip to Red Bull Salzburg likely to be prioritised, in what will be a huge game for the club.

Auxerre will not be pushovers by any means though, and PSG cannot expect to simply show up and win here at the Stade de I’Abbe Deschamps.

Even though Christophe Pelissier’s side suffered a 2-0 defeat at Toulouse last weekend, losing their fifth in seven games on the road, they have been superb on their return to Ligue 1.

That defeat ended a five-game unbeaten run that saw Auxerre take 13 points, and push them straight into European contention.

In a very congested mid-table, Auxerre are just a point away from slipping into the bottom half, but are just four points off the top four, so they will be setting their sights on replicating the likes of Lens and Brest, who have gatecrashed the Champions League spots in recent seasons.

Home form has been their forte, picking up 15 points in six matches here so far this season – and only upcoming opponents and runaway leaders PSG have more.
