Stade Rennais coach Frederic Antonetti has no fresh injury concerns as he attempts to reverse his side's alarming dip in form as they welcome Paris Saint-Germain to Stade de la Route de Lorient.
Since the departure of Yann M'Vila at the end of January and the season-ending injury to key player Romain Alessandrini, the hosts have not won a league game, dropping from fourth place to a lowly 10th.
Mevlut Erding is set to reclaim his place in the starting XI, which will be largely unchanged from last week's 2-0 home loss to Nancy.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti is likely to rest a few players ahead of the Champions League quarter-final second-leg against Barcelona next Wednesday.
The likes of Gregory van der Wiel, Mamadou Sakho, Clement Chantome and Kevin Gameiro could all be used as les Parisiens aim for a first win at Rennes since 2002 ahead of their date with Tito Vilanova's side.
- Stade Rennes sit 10th in Ligue 1, 11 points adrift of third-placed Olympique Lyonnais, after failing to win any of their last six league games.
- Les Rouges et Noirs have not lost to Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 at home in 11 years.
- Frederic Antonetti's men have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six encounters.
- Paris Saint-Germain sit top of Ligue 1, seven points clear of Olympique de Marseille.
- Rennes triumphed 2-1 in their fixture at the Parc des Princes back in November despite having two players sent off.
- Carlo Ancelotti's side have scored the most goals and conceded the least out of any side in the top division.
