Auxerre vs PSG live score, updates, lineups as Mbappe fires visitors ...
PSG are closing in on their Ligue 1 title defence this season as they take on struggling Auxerre tonight.
Christophe Galtier's side can move to within one point of confirming their title defence outright tonight after Lens won 3-1 at Lorient.
That result means the title race will stretch to the penultimate weekend of the campaign, as PSG head to Strasbourg on May 27.
Auxerre are currently just one point above the drop zone ahead of a tense run-in for Christophe Pélissier's team.
