Placed between the Champions Trophy won last Thursday against OM and the reception of Lille next Friday in Ligue 1, the 16th final of the Coupe de France against Paris FC this Monday evening (9:10 p.m.) pushes Luis Enrique to slightly modify his starting lineup.
PSG will present themselves with a reshuffled team for this second Parisian derby played in the space of eight days. The Spanish coach decided to place Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, João Neves, Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé on the substitutes’ bench. No surprise in the goal, Lucas Chevalier is preferred to Renato Marin, who started in the previous round against Vendée Fontenay.
Ruiz rather than Neves in the middle
In defense, it is the duo Illia Zabarnyi and Willian Pacho who form the central hinge, while Warren Zaire-Emery and Lucas Beraldo will liven up the corridors. In the midfield, the only question concerned the identity of the third man alongside Senny Mayulu and Vitinha, captain of the evening. Luis Enrique opted for Fabian Ruiz rather than João Neves.
Up front, Gonçalo Ramos took advantage of his good start against OM and started at the forefront of the attack. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Bradley Barcola support the Portuguese striker.
On the PFC side, Stéphane Gilli again chose a defense with five defenders, as in the previous match at the Parc des Princes. Nkambadio replaces Kevin Trapp in goal while Cafaro is preferred to Ikoné on the attacking front.
PSG : Chevalier – Zaïre-Emery, Zabarnyi, Pacho, Beraldo – Mayulu, Vitinha (cap.), Ruiz – Barcola, Ramos, Kvaratskhelia
PFC : Accompani
