More PSG possession. Jonathan Pearce criticises Njie and Payet for not working hard enough. I see.

Moura is behind the defence after an error from Marseille's defenders. Moura tries to beat the 'keeper, but Pele sticks a leg out to block. It loops up, falls to Cavani, and his overhead kick flies over. Cavani was in a superb position for an open goal had Moura passed, and in furious.

PSG keep the ball in defence. They don't have to do anything anymore. Just keep calm and not make a mistake.
16'
GOAL! Marseille 0-2 PSG. Cavani scores - Pastore clips a reverse pass into the box, behind the defence, and Cavani lifts it over the 'keeper with ease. His 35th for the club this season.

Payet drives in fro the left, towards the edge of the box, and his shot swerves just wide of the post.
13'
Sakai's cross from the right is tipped away by Trapp. Payet had released his team-mate from his new, central position.

Kurzawa forces a save from Pele, unmarked from a corner. Marseille are just awful.

Kurzawa attacks down the left. Matuidi is clattered as he receives the ball near the box, but the ref isn't interested.
6'
GOAL! Marseille 0-1 PSG - Marquinhos scores - Verrati clips a freekick to the near post, Silva nods it across goal and Marquinhos is there, unmarked, to head home.

Marseille, however, are in seventh. A win would take them to fifth, just off Lyon, but they are really in a holding pattern under this new owner, ready for a season of spending.
19:40
PSG are six points adrift of top spot. If they win tonight, their game in hand, they will be confident of pulling in Nice, but perhaps not Monaco, in the rest of the season.
19:35
Here's the report from today's earlier game, the League Cup final between Manchester United and Southampton.
19:30
PSG, if the line-up is correct, are going with a slightly odd formation. While they have a Champions League game to worry about, putting Blaise Matuidi on the left side of the attack is an unusual move. They have Thomas Meunier, a Belgian intellectual, at right-back, which is always nice to see.
19:25
The second greatest living Frenchman, Patrice Evra, captains Marseille tonight. He had been close to joining Manchester United and also Crystal Palace, but instead joined Marseille. It's some consolation - Marseille is the greatest city in the world, bar none.
