An insulting choice of circumstances this Sunday evening for Christophe Galtier. Faced with Lens (20:45), the PSG manager decided to put Spaniard Carlos Soler and Frenchman Hugo Ekitike in the forefront of attack. They are numerically replacing the absent Lionel Messi, still on vacation, and the suspended Neymar. Pablo Sarabia remains on the bench.
This is the first time this season that these two players support Kylian Mbappé on the offensive. Faced with the Lencois dolphin, Paris will start in a 4-3-3 formation with a trio of Fabian Ruiz, Marco Verratti and, surprisingly, Danilo Pereira in midfield.
On defense, Ashraf Hakimi finds a starting spot, while Nordi Mukiele will take over the left lane despite a good performance by young El Shadail Bitshiabu against the Alsatians this week.
The side of Lençois, Openda, Haidara and Claude-Maurice find the place of the holders.
