• Jeremy Pied made his return to first-team football in the Coupe de la Ligue loss to Strasbourg on Tuesday, and the versatile veteran should be on the bench for this encounter. Rui Fonte is also fit again, meaning Christophe Galtier has a fully fit squad for this match. Jonathan Ikone was back in the line-up as an attacking midfielder in last weekend’s win over Caen; he should keep his place after having only featured from the bench against Dijon the week prior.

• Both Thiago Silva and Dani Alves are back in training, although it may be too soon for either to return. Presnel Kimpembe will serve the final match of a three-game ban here. Adrien Rabiot and Kylian Mbappe should both start after only coming on against Marseille, having been late to a team meeting before Le Classique. Marco Verratti could be rested here as Thomas Tuchel has one eye on a vital clash with Napoli next week. Tuchel has also confirmed Buffon will start in goal for PSG’s next two matches.

• Lille are surprising participants in a top-of-the-table clash, but their attack, bettered only by Marseille and their opponents here, has been the driving force behind their early-season success, failing to score in just three of their first 11 matches.

• Paris Saint-Germain will likely be holding something in reserve given the magnitude of their trip to Naples, but must be wary of the speed and intelligence of Lille’s attack; Bamba and Pepe have been key thus far, but Jonathan Ikone may have extra motivation against his former club.
