Game of the week, PSG v Marseille, Sunday 19:45 (UK)
Raphaël :
Paris Saint-Germain welcoming their likely main title challengers should be the story of the weekend, but for the ostensibly wantaway Kylian Mbappé dominating the headlines. The hosts should nevertheless be able to set aside off-field issues and put an end to their three-game winless streak, even if a Marseille reinvigorated by their double header of Champions League wins will be a tough proposition.
Expect Lorient to claim top spot for (at least) 24 hours against a manager-less Reims side, while Laurent Blanc could not have a more difficult tie for his first match in charge of Lyon. A struggling Nice are unlikely to turn things around just yet, while Monaco will need a better performance than against Trabzonspor to see off a tricky Clermont side.
Luke :
Le Classique will once again take place without visiting fans on Sunday in what promises to be a thrilling match. Marseille, who beat Sporting Lisbon mid-week, face Paris Saint-Germain at the perfect time. The Kylian Mbappé scandal 2.0 has engulfed the reigning Ligue 1 champions and the good work done behind the scenes in the summer looks at risk of coming undone. There are certainly the ingredients for a Marseille upset at the Parc des Princes on Sunday night.
Elsewhere, Strasbourg are in desperate need of points, but they may find them hard to come by against Lille. Lorient will be looking to continue their extraordinary start to the season against a Reims side that sacked Óscar García this week. Laurent Blanc will be looking to make an immediate impact against Rennes, whilst Monaco will be looking to bounce back from their heavy defeat to Trabzonspor in the Europa League.
