OM line-up to face Monaco: Timber starts in place of Paixao

Quinten Timber makes his first start of the season for OM at Monaco in Ligue 1 tonight, with Igor Paixao absent.

According to L'Équipe, Paixao has a thigh problem and did not travel, so Timber comes in to reinforce midfield and adjust the system. He is said to be on Crystal Palace’s radar and among those linked with a departure. Kick-off is at 20:45.
