Team News

Monaco
Lyon
  • The hosts will have to make do without the suspended pair of Aleksandr Golovin and Vanderson.
  • Look for Maghnes Akliouche to start in midfield, although playing Minamino behind a front two of Balogun and Ben Yedder is also an option for the hosts.
  • Krépin Diatta should be deployed as a makeshift right wingback.
  • Corentin Tolisso and Nicolás Tagliafico are fit again and both should feature from the off.
  • Lyon should continue with interim boss Pierre Sage's 3-4-3, making few, if any changes from the team that beat Toulouse last weekend.

Prediction

  • Monaco will miss both Vanderson and Golovin, both of whom have been key to their strong play at home this season, but should have more than enough in reserve to unsettle a still-ropy Lyon side.
  • Les Gones will be glad of a vital win over Toulouse last weekend, but it's hard to see them getting anything from this encounter.
