If the Paris Saint-Germain wanted to whet his appetite before the end-of-year holidays, the menu for his last week of competition is perfect. Because it is particularly hearty. After Olympique Lyonnais (3-1) and AS Monaco (4-2), it is the Racing Club de Lens which stands in the way of the Parisians for their entry into contention in the Coupe de France.
The capital club experienced more modest adversity for this traditional round of 32 finals. Given the form of the Sang et Or, a solid top-of-the-table formation in Ligue 1 (seventh), Luis Enrique should rely on his strengths for this match.
A competitive eleven for PSG
A fan of rotation, the Spanish technician does not have much margin for this meeting. Changes are still expected in all lines, but the Parisian eleven should be very competitive. In goal, Donnarumma will give way to one of his substitutes, probably Safonov, after his violent facial injury in Monaco.
The defense could also be remodeled with a possible tenure of Lucas Hernandez, and one of the executives (Marquinhos or Pacho) left to rest in the central hinge. Will Hakimi continue on his right side? It’s a possibility, as the Moroccan seems in dazzling form.
The options are also numerous in the middle, where Vitinha, Joao Neves, Zaire-Emery and Fabian Ruiz compete for three places. Finally, up front, Gonçalo Ramos could return to the starting lineup after scoring points. Doué is also expected to continue, just like Dembélé.
