## Key points

- PSG v Lyon moves to Monday over protest-related security concerns.
- Around 550,000 people joined demonstrations last Saturday.
- Lyon lead PSG on goal difference after seven matches.

## Summary

Paris St-Germain’s Ligue 1 match against Lyon has been moved from Sunday to Monday after police barred it from taking place on its original date. The change comes as Paris prepares for further protests, requiring a major security operation and adding pressure to police resources.

The match at the Parc des Princes will now kick off at 20:30 GMT, 24 hours later than planned. Around 550,000 people demonstrated across France last Saturday over fuel prices, education standards and the cost of living; another security commitment is Sunday’s NFL game at the Stade de France. Toulouse’s match against Troyes has also been rescheduled, while Lyon lead the league on 14 points, ahead of second-placed PSG on goal difference.
