Game of the week: Paris Saint-Germain v Olympique de Marseille, Sunday 19:45 (UK)

Marseille got a monkey off their back when they registered their first league win at the Vélodrome against PSG back in September. Both in that fixture and during the Trophée des Champions last month, OM have shown that they can rival PSG on their day, especially since Les Parisiens are not in Olympic form themselves. But Roberto De Zerbi’s side are horribly inconsistent and it is not even a case of just turning up for the big occasions, as they have previously been accused of doing; their defeats to Liverpool and Club Brugge prove that. 

And so it is a question of exactly which Marseille will turn up. PSG only just edged out Auxerre and then Strasbourg, whilst they will be without Achraf Hakimi for this game. It is a game finely poised, but only if OM are up for the occasion.
