Strikers face off between PSG, St. Etienne
(03-14 18:48)
The spotlight will be on the French league's two best strikers when leader Paris Saint-Germain travels to play fourth-place Saint-Etienne on Sunday.
Saint-Etienne won at PSG and knocked it out of the League Cup, and will be in confident mood with striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in top form after nine goals in his past eight games _ a streak even PSG top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic has not managed this season, AP reports.
Aubameyang and Ibrahimovic are different forwards.
Aubameyang's lightning pace and slick movement contrasts with Ibrahimovic's more muscular approach and ability to improvise from almost anywhere. They have managed a combined 40 league goals so far -- 24 for Ibrahimovic and 16 for Aubameyang -- and the hopes of their teams rest largely with them.
Improving Saint-Etienne has not lost this year.
