Marseille Preview

Marseille Predicted Lineup - Geronimo Rulli; Ulisses Garcia, Derek Cornelius, Leonardo Balerdi, Pol Lirola; Mason Greenwood, Adrien Rabiot, Amine Harit, Pierre-Emile Hojburg, Luis Henrique; Elye Wahi

Marseille currently sit third in the table after what has been an impressive start to the campaign under Roberto De Zerbi. They have picked up 17 points from eight games thus far.

Alongside this they have also scored the second most goals (21) and conceded the joint second least (8) as well. They are a very strong side.

A huge part of that has been former Manchester United man Mason Greenwood who has scored six goals in the league so far this season - this placing him second in the Ligue 1 scoring charts. Will he find the back of the net in this one as well?

Paris Saint-Germain Preview

Paris Saint-Germain Predicted Lineup - Gianluigi Donnarumma; Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Warren Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz; Ousmane Dembele, Marco Asensio, Bradley Barcola

As expected PSG are top of the league right now. They got 20 points in eight games so far. However they are only top on goal difference with Monaco close behind them. Right now though they are unbeaten in the league.

Not only this but they have also scored more goals than any other side (25) as well as conceding the joint second least in the league (8). PSG are once again dominating - as they so often do.

However, they have only won one of their last four games proving to struggle - especially after midweek fixtures as they have seen this week. Could they struggle with tiredness again here?
