The Parisians currently sit eight points clear of Marseille after back-to-back wins over Montpellier and Toulouse, though the challengers did knock them out of the Coupe de France on Wednesday.
PSG’s task against Monaco won’t be an easy one, facing a side sitting fourth and able to move within seven points of the top themselves with a win thanks to a seven-game unbeaten run in Ligue 1.
Monaco Team News
The home team is expected to have most of their starters ready to compete. They didn’t play during the week, which means they will be more rested than their opponents. Another key factor is that their game vs Bayer Leverkusen in the UEL will be on Thursday.
Monaco probable lineup: Alexander Nübel; Ruben Aguilar, Axel Disasi, Guillermo Maripán, Caio Henrique; Youssouf Fofana, Mohamed Camara; Krepin Diatta, Takumi Minamino, Aleksandr Golovin; and Breel Embolo.
PSG Team News
The situation is much worse for Christophe Galtier. PSG’s head coach already had to replace Kylian Mbappe for a thigh injury, but now he will lose his other superstar. In the Coupe de France elimination Lionel Messi had a hamstring issue that will take him out of this one.
PSG probable lineup: Gianluigi Donnarumma; Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos, Nuno Mendes; Fabián Ruiz, Marco Verratti, Vitor Ferreira, Carlos Soler; Neymar, and Hugo Ekitike.
