A week after winning the Champions Trophy against AS Monaco in Doha (1-0), the Paris Saint-Germain returns to the daily bread of Ligue 1. The reigning champions face AS Saint-Etienne for a clash of extremes between two of the greatest records in French football (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.).
A meeting that Luis Enrique approaches with a well-stocked group. As usual, the Spanish technician kept the suspense and could bring his art to the fore when putting together his starting lineup. Several players are in the balance to start this Sunday evening.
PSG, lineup vs Saint-Etienne: Changes in midfield and attack
If Gianluigi Donnarumma should continue in the goals, Marquinhos should be replaced by Beraldo in central defense, but it is above all the midfield and the attack which remain under constant construction. In the midfield, Warren Zaire-Emery and Fabian Ruiz compete to support the Portuguese duo Vitinha-Joao Neves.
Further up, Lee Kang-in, often used, could leave his place in the eleven to Gonçalo Ramos, who would thus be aligned at the forefront to allow Ousmane Dembélé to find the right flank. Suspense also on the left, where Désiré Doué seems to have gained the upper hand over Bradley Barcola in the current sequence, but the former Lyonnais has not said his last word and could be revived.
The expected lineup for PSG : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Beraldo, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Neves – Dembélé, Ramos, Barcola.
