  • It's unlikely Kylian Mbappé will feature here as his contract resolution works its way towards a resolution.
  • New manager Luis Enrique should continue to play the same 4-3-3 as his predecessors have.
  • Lucas Hernandez is also an option in defence as he works his way back to full fitness.
  • It should be almost entirely as you were for Les Merlus, who have lost only Enzo Le Fée this summer.
  • Benjamin Mendy is also an option at left wingback, while Formose Mendy could start in central defence.

Prediction

  • Even without the will-he-won't-he Mbappé, the hosts should have more than enough firepower to dispose of Lorient.
  • Les Merlus should comfortably avoid relegation, but are unlikely to repeat last season's strong start that saw them in the European places for much of the season's beginning.

  • New champion this season in Ligue 1

  • Just heard PSG have told Mbappe to train with the kids and that he will not play for PSG again.

  • Easy Win for PSG ? What is the situation with Mbappe and Neymar ?

  • @Marbella Mbappe will not play because PSG told him he will not play at all if he doesn't prolong, Neymar won't play because he said he doesn't want to play and he wants to leave. Overall, the XI here doesn't include players that seemed the best in the preseason - WZE, Lucas and Skriniar. I expect them all to play. In defense, it's a bit crowded, so who knows. But Warren is probably the first guy that Luis Enrique thinks of filling the XI. In attack, Ramos and Lee will play if possible. If they're deemed to not have trained enough, Soler might slip in. Verratti is also one of the players they are trying to sell for a fee (same as Ekitike btw), and probably won't play. He didn't seem to be in the form anyway. It seems like Vitinha is more likely than Ruiz to partner Warren and Ugarte in midfield.

  • @ogqozo Thanks for your opinion.
