CAEN, April 18 (Ligue 1) - Paris St Germain coach Paul Le Guen knows his side must put the euphoria of reaching the Coupe de France semi-final aside as they attempt to secure Ligue 1 football for next season.
PSG ended amateur side Carquefou's cup adventure midweek to keep alive their chances of a cup double - having already won the Coupe de la Ligue last month.
But Le Guen's side must now turn their attention back to the league as they currently occupy the last relegation spot, level on point with Lens and Strasbourg.
"Qualification was secured and we will now profit from it by resting for two days and preparing for the trip to Caen, which remains our priority," he said after the game.
"Today we are in the semi-finals of the cup and we will try to go all the way, even though the priority remains the championship and Saturday night's game."
Caen are eight points above PSG and, still not safe from danger, will be equally keen to pick up the points at home.
The match will be Yoan Gouffran's first against the Parisians since he turned down an opportunity to join them in January when a deal was all but sealed.
PSG president Alain Cayzac was left fuming by the youngster's decision - something which has given Gouffran extra motivation against the team he supported as a boy.
"I think I made a good choice by refusing to go to PSG," said Gouffran.
"I will certainly not be lacking motivation against my ex-future team-mates. I haven't forgotten what was said and I will do everything to win a good game.
"The city deserves to have a team in Ligue 1 and I think they'll save themselves."
PSG striker Leandro Everton will miss the rest of the season as he faces an operation on his foot Sunday while Jerome Rothen is also injured and will not be able to face his former club.
Larrys Mabiala and Souza have also been left in Paris with injuries.
Caen players Nicolas Seube, Titi Deroin and Vincent Plante remain doubts for Saturday's game.
