PSG vs Amiens LIVE - Latest score and updates from the Parc des Princes

Paris Saint-Germain will be looking to pick up from where they left off before the international break when 13th-placed Amiens come to the French capital.

The French champions routed Lyon 5-0 thanks to four goals in 13 minutes from Kylian Mbappe to maintain their eight-point gap at the top of the Ligue 1 table.

Amiens have had a positive run of a form after a stuttering start, with wins against Rennes and Dijon coming in their last three matches. Follow the live action below.

GOAL!
GOAL! Juventus 1-1 Genoa (Bessa 67')
 
Anyone heard of a blogger's curse? Well it might exist because Benatia fails to close down the cross and Daniel Bessa has the simplest task of heading the ball past Szczesny.
65 min: Juventus 1-0 Genoa
 
Juventus are having all the possession but are just lacking something up top to get that second goal. Twenty-five minutes still to play in Turin.
SUBS
59 min: Juventus 1-0 Genoa
 
First change of the evening for Juventus, as Douglas Costa replaces Juan Cuadrado, the Brazilian's first appearance since his spitting ban.
56 min: Juventus 1-0 Genoa
 
Piotek should beat his fellow countryman on this occasion though. He rises above Leonardo Bonucci from a corner but cannot divert his header on target. A huge let off for Max Allegri's men. 
53 min: Juventus 1-0 Genoa
 
Wojciech Szczesny has been a relative spectator so far, but the former Arsenal keeper is forced to divert fellow Pole Krzysztof Piatek's effort at his near post behind for a corner.
50 min: Juventus 1-0 Genoa
 
You do wonder how many shots Ronaldo will have at goal before the night is over. This time the former Real Madrid man thunders his powerful drive into former Spurs midfielder Sandro following Matuidi's lay-off.
47 min: Juventus 1-0 Genoa
 
By the looks of it, more of the same. Alex Sandro whips a ball across the six-yard box and Genoa manage to usher it behind with Mandzukic and Ronaldo lurking. The resulting corner is then headed behind by Mehdi Benatia.
46 min: Juventus 1-0 Genoa
 
We're back underway at the Allianz Stadium. What is in store for the Old Lady in the second 45?
 
Just another youngster quietly going about his business.
 
FULL TIME
Full Time: PSG 5-0 Amiens
 
Just the back-to-back 5-0 victories for PSG in Ligue 1 then. The hosts were commanding and dominant for the majority of the match and they extend their lead at the top of the table to 11 points, for the time being at least.
 
Will anyone be able to stop the flurry of goals emanating from Paris?
Just another day at the office for Ronaldo, isn't it?
 
 
 
GOAL!
GOAL! PSG 5-0 Amiens (Diaby 87')
 
The winger shows great composure to jink his way through the Amiens defence, before slotting the ball easily past Gurtner. Another emphaitc scoreline for the hosts. 
HALF TIME
Half Time: Juventus 1-0 Genoa
 
Juventus have dominated the first half and deservedly go into the break with a 1-0 lead thanks to Ronaldo.
 
GOAL!
GOAL! PSG 4-0 Amiens (Mbappe 82')
 
There was some confidence about that. Diaby plays a clever ball into Mbappe and he fools the defence and strokes the ball in at the near post.
GOAL!
GOAL! PSG 3-0 Amiens (Draxler 80')
 
That goal finally settles it for the Ligue 1 champions. The German midfielder makes no mistake in heading the ball into the corner of the net after a cross from the left.
80 min: PSG 2-0 Amiens
 
Big, big chance for the visitors. A corner is swung in from the left and Otero meets it, but can only divert the header into the side netting.
77 min: PSG 2-0 Amiens
 
PSG haven't had an abundance of chances in the second half, and it forces substitute Moussa Diaby into a long-range effort.
 
The 19-year-old's strike is high and handsome though. 
34 min: Juventus 1-0 Genoa
 
Another Juventus attack, another Ronaldo shot. This time the Portuguese's effort is put behind at the near post by Radu.
72 min: PSG 2-0 Amiens
 
Cavani looks all set to make it three for PSG after robbing the ball off Gouano, but the referee blows for a foul by the Uruguayan on the Amiens defender.
28 min: Juventus 1-0 Genoa
 
Genoa are living dangerously at the moment, and only some last-ditch defending prevents the Old Lady from doubling their lead. 
 
The visitors don't look much better going forward as Kouame blazes over from a promising position.

What time does it start?

PSG vs Amiens kicks off at 4pm

Highlights will be shown at 9pm on BT Sport 3.  

It’s a big game for…

Juan Bernat – Despite the glamorous scoreline against Lyon, the hosts did look unconvincing in defence at times and it was partly due to the tough night the Spaniard endured on the left-hand side. The 25-year-old was also scolded by Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness, who stated that the left-back was sold to PSG after his dismal performance for them in their Champions League first-leg defeat to Sevilla, and he will therefore need to bounce back after an unsettled couple of weeks.

Remember when…

Paris Saint-Germain had long regained the title before their trip to Amiens last season but it was a significant fixture for the hosts. Moussa Konate’s double saw Amiens come from behind twice to take a point off Unai Emery’s side and guarantee their status as a Ligue 1 side, but PSG got a glimpse of Christopher Nkunku’s ability with this wonderful finish. 

Player to watch…

Kylian Mbappe – The 19-year-old has made the headlines in two of the last three games he has competed in after his monumental impact. His flurry of goals in between the 61st and 74th minute against Lyon was the first four-goal haul of his career, and four days later he came off the bench to rescue a draw for his nation France against Iceland.
