Full-backs Yvann Maçon and Aimen Mouffek will miss out here; look for Claude Puel to opt for youngster Bryan Nokoue after he came off the bench against Montpellier. After coming off the bench last weekend, Ignacio Ramírez could be tasked with leading the line, with Wahbi Khazri dropping into a creative role and Romain Hamouma moving wide. Arnaud Nordin is also in contention on the right flank. Ricardo Mangas is a doubt after missing training in the week through illness. Paul Baysse has resumed training, but the veteran is still not ready to be included from the off. Samuel Kalu will be available after missing last week's loss to Lens owing to quarantine. Summer signing Jean Onana could also be an option in central midfield.
Despite these two being two of France's most storied clubs, this fixture smacks of a relegation six-pointer as neither side have yet won a match. While a draw suits neither side, both lack the firepower to make this a compelling fixture, and that may be the outcome regardless. 1:1
