Paris St Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti says he will not shy away from rotating his team when they visit Dijon for their rescheduled Coupe de France clash at Stade Gaston Gerard. Tomorrow's last-16 tie was originally due to be played last Tuesday, but sub-zero temperatures forced the match to be postponed, meaning it will now take place just four days before PSG's top-of-the-table Ligue 1 encounter with Montpellier. Ancelotti's men hold a one-point lead over Montpellier ahead of their meeting at Parc des Princes on Sunday night, and with that in mind the Italian is likely to call on a number of his fringe players in Dijon. "The goal is to have the best possible team on the field to win," Ancelotti said. "I have a group of 24 players at my disposal, I have to make choices, and even if the decision is sometimes difficult to accept, it increases competition and therefore it is good for the entire workforce. I make decisions so that PSG is competitive in every game. " Ancelotti admits the crunch encounter with Montpellier is on his mind, but has vowed his players will have their concentration firmly on the job at hand tomorrow - especially as they are seeking revenge against a team that knocked them out of the Coupe de la Ligue at the same stage in October. "Today, on the eve of going to Dijon, this is the cup. On Sunday, we will receive Montpellier in Ligue 1 and we will have four days to recover and prepare for this meeting," he said. "In the immediate future, we think of tomorrow's match against an opponent who eliminated us at the same stage in the Coupe de la Ligue. We want to continue our adventure... and of course the idea of going to play the final at the Stade de France is a great motivation." Tomorrow's match will pit Ancelotti against Dijon's on-loan youngster Gael Kakuta, who played for the Italian during his spell as manager of Chelsea and who has already made his mark for his new club with a goal in the 1-1 draw at Brest last weekend. "I am very happy because he was one of my players at Chelsea," said Ancelotti. "I will be wary of him, he scored the last weekend in the league and has many qualities." Tomorrow's other last-16 encounter pits Marseille against fourth-tier outfit Bourg-Peronnas, who upset Ligue 1 side Ajaccio in the previous round. The match is another to be rescheduled as a result of the cold snap, and Bourg-Peronnas defender Florent Perradin says the amateurs are relishing the visit of one of France's top clubs to the Stade Municipal de Peronnas. "It was a great achievement against Ajaccio and we wanted to get a big Ligue 1 team in the next round, and this is the case with OM," said Perradin. "We'll see how it goes but we're all very excited."
