PSG predicted XI v Paris FC: Lucas Chevalier and Ousmane Dembélé poised to start | OneFootball

PSG host city rivals Paris FC in Ligue 1 for the first time in more than 47 years. The Arnault-owned promoted Ligue 1 side will make their shortest away trip of the season considering that Stade Jean-Bouin sits just opposite PSG’s Parc des Princes. PFC will look to claim their fifth win of their campaign whereas PSG need to close the gap on league leaders RC Lens, who will remain top as Ligue 1 reaches the halfway point of the season.

PSG head coach Luis Enrique have a sizable squad to pick options from, although Achraf Hakimi and Ibrahim Mbaye remain in Morocco for the latter stages of the AFCON. Intercontinental Cup final hero Matvey Safonov is sidelined after picking up a hand fracture in the shoot-out. It means that Lucas Chevalier will return between the sticks. 

Upfront, Ousmane Dembélé is expected to lead the line. However, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is set to start on the bench after missing out on PSG’s last training session on Saturday.
