Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will face Marseille in the Trophée des Champions clash on Thursday (January 8). The match will be played at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait. Here are all the details about the game.
In the past year, Paris Saint-Germain have lifted an impressive array of silverware, including Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, the Trophée des Champions, the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. Luis Enrique is enjoying a highly successful spell in Paris. The team will now look to defend this specific trophy for a fourth straight season.
On the Marseille side, there are no new injury issues to report. That said, the squad will miss midfielders Arthur Vermeeren and Bilal Nadir, who are both serving suspensions after receiving red cards in their game against Nantes.

Encouringly, forwards Amine Gouiri and Hamed Traoré made their comebacks to the team in the previous weekend's fixture.
