PSG are top of the table at the moment and they will look to continue the winning momentum.
The Parisians are first in Ligue 1 after 21games with 52 points. The goal difference is +38.
Montpellier will provide some challenge for PSG but they should focus on playing their brand of football and the job will be done.
Thomas Tuchel will field a strong XI which will play attacking football and be solid at the back.
On the other hand, Montpellier are having a fine season but they will look to win games regularly to end up finishing higher.
