PARIS (Reuters) - Paris St-Germain's attacking trio of Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar have struggled to get into their stride but seem to be clicking in time for the most important game of the Ligue 1 season at home to in-form Olympique de Marseille on Sunday.

A win would put PSG 15 points ahead of second-placed Marseille with six games left and leave the capital club with one hand on a 10th league title.

In their last two games, they thrashed visiting Lorient 5-1 and Clermont 6-1 away with Mbappe scoring five and setting up four, Neymar netting five goals with one assist while Lionel Messi scored one and added three assists."The goal is to win the league so obviously we want to win this classic," coach Mauricio Pochettino told a news conference on Saturday.

Their support will be all the more significant as Marseille head into the game having won their last eight competitive games - a feat they had not achieved since Marcelo Bielsa's men claimed eight staight victories in the 2014-15 season. The top three in Ligue 1 qualify for the Champions League, with Marseille on 59 points - three ahead of third-placed Rennes and six in front of Monaco in fourth - with a game in hand.
