Marseille Team News
Adrien Rabiot will be fit enough to play against his former side this weekend. Valentin Carboni is out for the remainder of the season due to an ACL injury.

Geronimo Rulli (GK); Pol Lirola, Leonardo Balerdi, Derek Cornelius, Ulisses Garcia, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Adrien Rabiot, Mason Greenwood, Amine Harin, Jonathan Rowe, Elye Wahi
PSG Team News
Enrique has only one injury concern to contend with this weekend, as Presnel Kimpembe is no nearer to making his return. Randal Kolo Muani will return to the starting eleven after missing out against PSV in midweek.

Gianluigi Donnarumma (GK); Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Lucas Hernandez, Vitinha, Joao Neves, Fabian Ruiz, Ousmane Dembele, Randal Kolo Muani, Bradley Barcola
Marseille vs. PSG Prediction
Marseille could put down a clear signal of intent by ending their poor record against PSG this weekend.
A victory would see De Zerbi’s side close the gap on the top of the standings, and they certainly have the attacking quality to pose more than a number of questions to this vulnerable PSG outfit. A chance is taken on a home win.
