Paris Saint-Germain will renew acquaintances with Saint-Etienne in the quarterfinals of the Coupe de France.
Defending champion PSG has faced Saint-Etienne 10 times over the course of this season and the previous two campaigns without suffering defeat.

Laurent Blanc's men also defeat Christophe Galtier's side in the semifinals of last season's Coupe de France and will have to get the better of Saint-Etienne again at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in order to reach the last four this time around.
PSG's archrival and 10-time champion Marseille will take on fifth-tier Granville, providing it defeats fourth-tier Trelissac on Thursday, while Sochaux's reward for a stunning win over Monaco is a tie with U.S. international Alejandro Bedoya and Nantes.
