Krépin Diatta has joined Fàbregas and Golovin on the sidelines, limiting the hosts' attacking options. Look for Sofiane Diop and Gelson Martins to start on the flanks; the pair were rested on Thursday. Wissam Ben Yedder is also likely to be back in the XI, having only come off the bench in Eindhoven on Thursday. Jordan Ferri is suspended after his red card against Lens last time out. Teji Savanier may drop deeper as a result of Ferri's absence but Leo Leroy and Junior Sambia are alternatives.
Monaco are undefeated in 30 of their last 32 matches against Montpellier in all competitions. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Montpellier's last 6 games (Ligue 1).
Despite rotating on Thursday, Niko Kovac's absences mean Monaco will come into this match far less rested than their opponents, something which could further complicate what already looked a challenging fixture. Montpellier impressed against a Lens side who had been in great form -- their attacking brilliance may be a challenge for a Monaco side who have struggled to keep clean sheets. 1:2
