Melvin Bard is still a doubt, the youngster having picked up an injury on international duty; look for Hassane Kamara to start at left-back. Alexis-Claude Maurice came off the bench against Troyes after a long lay-off, but is still not fit enough for 90 minutes. Amine Gouiri, who had been carrying a knock, should start here after not featuring from the off against Troyes. Calvin Stengs could also be an option on the right flank. Anthony Lopes is back from suspension and will start in goal. Expect Lucas Paquetá and Emerson to start here; both featured for just 45 minutes in midweek. Léo Dubois and Maxence Caqueret will also start; the pair weren't included from the off in Prague. In-from Karl Toko Ekambi could lead the line with both Dembélé and Slimani unavailable, but Rayan Cherki is also an option. Xherdan Shaqiri has been poor of late.
While Le Classique, the day's late match, will surely garner most of the focus, this match showcases two of the league's most entertaining sides, and isn't one to be missed. Both sides have goals in them, despite their absences, and one may just be tempted to give Nice the edge given they were idle in midweek. 2:1
