Holder PSG to face Lyon in Coupe de la Ligue quarterfinals

Ligue 1 heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon will meet in the pick of the Coupe de la Ligue quarterfinal ties.

Holder Paris Saint-Germain has been drawn against Lyon in the Coupe de la Ligue quarterfinals.

Laurent Blanc's men, who have won the tournament a record five times in total including in each of the past two years, beat Saint-Etienne 1-0 on Wednesday to book their place in the last eight thanks to a late goal from Edinson Cavani.

Their reward is a tough tie at home to Hubert Fournier's Lyon, which is sixth in Ligue 1 and edged to a 2-1 victory over second-tier Tours to make it to this stage.
