Paris Saint-Germain defender Christophe Jallet has urged his teammates not to underestimate fifth-tier minnows Arras ahead of their French Cup clash on Sunday.

The French international said that their amateur opponents will need no motivation for the match, and has warned Les Parisiens against complacency.

"It's a big and rare event for Arras to play a team like PSG, it'll be the match of their lives, and if we were in their shoes, we'd react in the same way," Ligue1.com quotes Jallet as saying.

"It'll be a good game for us, because our opponents will give it everything. That's the charm of the French Cup, even if Ligue 1 teams sometimes come a cropper against smaller sides.

"We're going to try and avoid falling into the trap. It won't be an easy game, but the best way to respect this team is to give our all in the game."

The game will be played at the Stade Michel Brabant, the home of Arras.
