The two top sides in France right now, Marseille and PSG love facing each other. There's a raw emotion about this fixture that isn't easy to find these days. While PSG are favourites in nearly every game they play, Christophe Galtier's side are far from their best right now. Without Mbappe and Neymar, they're far more human than usual, even if Lionel Messi is still alive and kicking, and recent performances have shown a team who are not as fluid as you'd expect. PSG's general quality has got them through their recent fixtures and, truthfully, it'll probably do the same here, but don't expect Marseille to make it easy for them.
Centre-back Sergio Ramos has also been struggling with something similar. Nordi Mukiele is battling a hamstring problem and Presnel Kimpembe is not yet ready to return from his Achilles problem, despite making it back into training. Renato Sanches is also out. One player who will be available, however, is Marco Verratti. The Italian midfielder was hit with a three-game ban for his red card against Reims but the third of those is suspended, and having already sat out the past two games, Verratti is free to play here. (4-3-1-2): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Danilo, Bernat; Zaire-Emery, Verratti, Fabian; Vitinha; Messi, Ekitike.
