Lyon are looking to win three on the bounce under new manager Laurent Blanc. Should they take the three points away from the Orange Vélodrome on Sunday night, they will be just one point behind Marseille, despite a disastrous start to the season, which saw Peter Bosz lose his job.
Bar Corentin Tolisso, Blanc has a full squad to choose from, and he is likely to once again deploy the attacking duo of Moussa Dembélé and Alexandre Lacazette, which was underutilized by Bosz. The biggest question mark is over who will feature in the midfield: Johann Lepenant or Maxence Caqueret?
There will also likely be spaces for Houssem Aouar and Jerome Boateng, both of whom have been re-integrated into the Lyon side, after finding themselves marginalised under their previous manager.
Lyon predicted XI v Marseille:
Lopes – Lukeba, Boateng, Diomandé – Tagliafico, Aouar, Caqueret, Thiago Mendes, Gusto – Lacazette, Dembélé.
