PSG chase second trophy as Lens host Trophée des Champions | OneFootball

Fresh from Wednesday's 2-1 Super Cup win over Aston Villa, Paris Saint-Germain chase a second trophy on Sunday as they face Lens at Bollaert in the Trophée des Champions.

According to Le Progres, Lens, the Coupe de France holders, have home advantage for Dino Toppmöller's first competitive match after replacing Pierre Sage. Their squad has been overhauled after an eventful window that saw Adrien Thomasson, Allan Saint-Maximin and Mamadou Sangaré depart.

Luis Enrique has named the maximum 20-man squad, with Alessandro Longoni, Ibrahim Mbaye and Bradley Barcola omitted. Following Mika Godts' arrival on Saturday, Barcola is set to leave, with Liverpool said to be leading the chase.

In the starting tweaks, Marquinhos makes way for Zabarnyi in central defence, and Beraldo comes in for Joao Neves in midfield. The front three of Akliouche, Doué and Kvaratskhelia is retained.

For Lens, Toppmöller starts Franjo Ivanovic up front after his move from Benfica and gives Yassine Titraoui a midfield berth. Florian Thauvin, Matthieu Udol and Robin Risser also begin.

Kick-off is at 20:45.
