Saint-Etienne play their 2,000th game in the French top flight on Sunday when they visit Olympique de Marseille. European Champion Clubs' Cup runners-up in 1976, St-Etienne remain the most-titled team in Ligue 1 history with ten championships.

However, they have been overshadowed in recent years by eastern rivals Olympique Lyonnais and sit tenth in the table this season. St-Etienne have won 861 and lost 618 of their 1,999 top-class matches.
