Neymar is booked, apparently for his angry reaction to the referee as a foul was given against him on the halfway line.
90' +2
Angers look to put a late attack together down the left but El Melali just can't latch onto a loose ball in the area.
90' +1
Three minutes added on.
90'
Angers boss Stephane Moulin is shown a yellow card for his protestations at something he's taken offence at. He'll have to be careful to avoid a Moulin rouge...
89'
M. Verratti gets yellow.
Verratti is booked late on for a cynical challenge to prevent an Angers counter-attack.
88'
Neymar looks to drive at the Angers defence again but they deal with him well once again, holding him off at the edge of the area.
86'
P. Kimpembe enters the game and replaces L. Kurzawa.
F. El Melali enters the game and replaces I. Amadou.
Another Angers change, with El Melali on for Amadou.

85'
The corner eventually comes to Amadou and he loops a header towards goal, but it's a gentle catch for Navas.
84'
Thioub holds off the challenge of Diallo as he gets to the byline in the area and looks to fire a cross in, but the defender gets a foot in to force a corner.
Minute
Description
82'
Verratti goes down holding his ankle after a heavy challenge from Amadou. It was late but didn't look especially malicious, and no card is given.
80'
Pablo Sarabia enters the game and replaces K. Mbappé.
Mbappe's race is run, with Sarabia on for the final 10 minutes.
Di Maria is done too, with Herrera coming on.
79'
Ander Herrera enters the game and replaces Á. Di María.
PSG are getting plenty of time on the ball now but aren't looking to hurry things. Subs are being readied. They look happy enough to see out a 1-0 if they can.
77'
Icardi sets Neymar away down the left channel. He drives at the last line of defence but Traore waits for his moment and times a tackle superbly.
75'
J. Cabot enters the game and replaces Mathias Pereira Lage.
S. Thioub enters the game and replaces P. Capelle.
And now Thioub is on for Capelle.
Changes from Angers. First, Cabot replaces Pereira Lage.
74'
A win for PSG will, of course, take them back to the top of Ligue 1, two points clear of Lyon. They'll play at home to Metz on Sunday night.
72'
It's a shame for Angers, who have done well in this game so far. You do get the feeling they needed to score the first goal if they were going to get something out of the match, but there's plenty of time still to go.
70'
L. Kurzawa has scored a goal for PSG!
GOAL! PSG break the deadlock, it's Kurzawa with a great finish! Florenzi crosses from the right and Thomas can't clear properly, only flicking the ball up and over to the far side of the penalty area where the left-back arrives to flash a first-time effort into the bottom-left corner. Brilliantly taken.
69'
M. Icardi enters the game and replaces M. Kean.
Icardi is indeed coming on, replacing Kean up front.
68'
The game has opened up in the second half, thank goodness. Twenty minutes to find a winner.
66'
A PSG counter-attack breaks down on the right as Di Maria shoves Fulgini to the ground. It looks as though Icardi is getting ready to come on for the visitors.
63'
Neymar tricks his way between three defenders at the left side of the area but he doesn't get his head up and scuffs a cross straight at a defender, who heads clear.
61'
S. Bahoken enters the game and replaces L. Diony.
Angers make the first change of the night. Diony is off, replaced by Cameroon international Bahoken.
59'
Bernardoni comes out to punch a cross clear. He gets a good right fist to it but collides with Diallo as he does so, and goes down in a heap. He's back up soon enough.
57'
Neymar is involved in another PSG attack as he flicks the ball on for Di Maria at the edge of the area, but his effort is straight at the keeper.
53'
Diony goes to ground in the penalty area and he wants a penalty - he feels he was taken down by Diallo, but the referee isn't interested.
50'
Angers respond to the Mbappe chance by winning a corner on the right, but it's easily dealt with. Paredes tries to launch a quick counter but his long ball toward Mbappeis cut out.
47'
Can PSG turn on the style in the second half? They have been a long way from their best so far.
45' +1
HALF-TIME: ANGERS 0-0 PSG
45'
We're back for the second half.
44'
Angers have been energetic throughout the half and they've enjoyed some good possession beyond the halfway line, but they've lacked the cutting edge to make it count.
42'
Florenzi finds Mbappe on the right. He holds the ball up to the side of the area and lays it back to Di Maria to cross, but his ball is just too high for Kean to flick goalwards.
40'
Five minutes to half-time, and Angers seem to have weathered the PSG storm which was brewing midway through the half.
38'
Angers win a corner on the right. It's taken short and crossed from deep, but headed away at the near corner of the six-yard box.
36'
Diony gets into space on the left. He has support arriving into the area to his right but he decides to go for goal from the edge of the area, and his left-footed effort gives Navas a simple low save. That was a waste.
34'
Mbappe looks to burst between two defenders in the area but one gets a foot on the ball and wins a goal kick.
33'
Mbappe tricks his way around Manceau down the left, but he takes the ball out of play in the process.
31'
PSG will be keen to make the breakthrough sooner rather than later tonight. Their win over Marseille on Wednesday was a full-blooded affair from first minute to last. If Angers can take this one deep, they may feel they can take advantage of some tired legs with a late sucker-punch.
29'
Paredes tries his luck with a long-range free-kick, just to the right of centre. He gets a nice whip on the ball but gets underneath it, and it zips high and wide.
28'
The corner from the right is delivered too deep, but it's put behind for another corner kick, back on the other side. Eventually, Angers manage to clear their lines.
26'
Mbappe holds up the ball in the area but he can't find Di Maria on the overlap with his attempted flick round the corner.
25'
The delivery from the resulting free-kick is disappointing, with Kean able to head away under no pressure.
24'
Doumbia makes a great run forward down the left, beating two PSG players before eventually having his ankle clipped by Verratti.
23'
There looks to be danger for Angers as Neymar is fouled inside the D, but the flag is up for offside. Kean had made a run ahead of the play and was indeed offside, but the ball never went anywhere near him. Strange decision.
22'
Neymar and Mbappe combine for the first time. The Brazilian looks up on the halfway line and scoops a ball over the last line of defence for his strike partner to chase down. He just gets to the ball first but can't hook it on target with Bernardoni rushing out to meet him. The pair collide, but there's no damage done.
20'
Jesus Perez is the man on the touchline for PSG tonight in Pochettino's absence. The assistant has worked with Pochettino at all of his clubs so far.
18'
Manceau looks to fire in a low cross from the right, but it's blocked by Kurzawa. Coulibaly fouls Neymar as the hosts prevent a counter-attack.
14'
It has been a quiet start, all told. Capelle went close with that effort in the opening two minutes, but that's the only real effort of note so far.
10'
Diony looks to shield the ball from Diallo on the right touchline and the PSG defender takes him down. It looks like a foul but the referee waves play on.
8'
Angers have started brightly. Capelle tries his luck with his left foot inside the D, but his shot is instantly charged down. PSG counter but Mbappe's momentum eventually takes the ball out of play for a goal kick.
7'
Doumbia fires in an excellent cross from the left towards Pereira Lage in the area. It's a beauty of a ball but the man on the end of it mistimes his jump and the ball ends up going well wide, possibly off his shoulder.
6'
Di Maria appeals for a corner as he challenges with Thomas in the Angers penalty area, but the flag is already up for offside.
4'
It hasn't been a hugely assertive start from PSG. Angers are keeping the ball easily enough, and getting forward with it.
2'
Angers come forward early on and Capelle is found in space on the right of the area. He looks to bend a left-footed effort into the far top corner with his first touch but Navas tips it over, and the resulting corner is cleared.
1'
We're underway!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of this Ligue 1 fixture. Paris Saint-Germain are hunting down Lyon in top spot and tonight they travel to face Stephane Moulin's Angers, who sit seventh in the table.
New boss Mauricio Pochettino won his first trophy as a manager as PSG beat Marseille in the Trophee des Champions earlier this week, but the Argentine isn't here tonight as he has tested positive for Covid-19. He'll be hoping his side can reclaim top spot in his absence; they're a point behind Lyon, who host Metz on Sunday.
Angers (4-2-3-1): Paul Bernardoni; Souleyman Doumbia, Romain Thomas, Ismael Traore, Vincent Manceau; Ibrahim Amadou, Lassana Coulibaly; Mathias Pereira Lage, Angelo Fulgini, Pierrick Capelle; Lois Diony.
SUBS: Abdoulaye Bamba, Farid El Melali, Sada Thioub, Stephane Bahoken, Jimmy Cabot, Zinedine Ould Khaled, Antonin Bobichon, Ludovic Butelle, Mateo Pavlovic.
The teams are on their way out and we're almost ready for kick-off.
SUBS: Sergio Rico, Pablo Sarabia, Mauro Icardi, Mitchel Bakker, Danilo Pereira, Timothee Pembele, Ander Herrera, Presnel Kimpembe, Idrissa Gueye.
Icardi and Sarabia are the attacking options on the bench for PSG. Neymar is returning from injury so it remains to be seen whether he'll be left out for the full 90 minutes, even if the visitors need a goal.
That's it from me here tonight. Until the next time, adieu!
PSG are two points clear at the top, but they have played a game more than the two teams immediately behind them. Angers remain seventh, six points off the top four and four points clear of the bottom half.
