Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé and Monaco striker Wissam ben Yedder are in a frantic contest to be the next goalgetter to reach 100 strikes in the French top flight ahead of next Sunday's Ligue 1 Uber Eats encounter between their clubs.

Of all the players currently playing in France's top division, only Bordeaux veteran Jimmy Briand has scored more goals than Mbappé, who has 96 in 138 matches, though he drew a blank in PSG's 2-1 win over Nice at the weekend.

 

Unlike the PSG forward, Ben Yedder did find the net in Round 25, scoring twice to rescue a 2-2 draw for Monaco at home to Lorient to take his overall tally to 94 in 206 games.
