Game of the week: AS Monaco v Olympique de Marseille, Saturday 20:00 (UK)
There are few certainties going into Monaco’s match against Marseille. Both teams are looking to bounce back after defeats last week. Marseille have a new manager in the form of Gennaro Gattuso, whilst Monaco must deal with a number of key absentees. Aleksandr Golovin is suspended, Caio Henrique looks set to potentially miss the entirety of the season, and Takumi Minamino is also a doubt. Adi Hütter has thus far been unwilling to switch up his system, but his hand may be forced. Elsewhere, PSG should have no difficulties against Clermont Foot, even if they are without Kylian Mbappé, who may be rested ahead of their Champions League tie against Newcastle United in midweek. Finally, Nice face Brest as first meets second at the Allianz Riviera. Eric Roy’s side will provide a much different test for Francesco Farioli’s men. A win would take Nice top, but it will likely be difficult to obtain.
