-----------------------------------
Auxerre
Auxerre will be without Ange-Loic N’Gatta ahead of the home clash with PSG, as he joins Ousoumane Camara and Lasso Coulibaly, with the pair out at least until the new year. Gideon Mensah is also out of the game, as with time, there will be new updates on his potential return. Christophe Pelissier will continue to deploy his preferred style of having three defenders at the back and the usage of wingbacks.
Paul Joly and Clement Akpa are the preferred options in the wide roles, while the Auxerre boss will choose Rayan Raveloson and Elisha Owusu are the main midfielders in the central zones. Gabriel Osho wil continue to marshall that back three, as he will have Jubal and Sinaly Diomande on either side.
Hamed Traore, with his six goals this season, only trails Bradley Barcola, Mason Greenwood, and Jonathan David in the scoring charts, as Auxerre will continue to rely on him to give them an edge in the attacking third. He will have Gaetan Perrin by his side in the advanced zones, as Pelissier will continue to prefer Lassine Sinayoko to lead the line ahead of the likes of Theo Bair and Ado Onaiwu.
PSG
PSG comes into this clash without any fresh injury concerns, as Senny Mayulu, Lucas Hernandez, and Presnel Kimpembe are the ones sidelined for the time being. Enrique will have been happy to have Goncalo Ramos back in action, starting last weekend. Hence, the Portuguese striker might wait to start back-to-back games, especially when the manager will want to lend his full focus on the Champions League game next week.
Hence, Marco Asensio should be in line to lead the attack once more. Ramos’s presence will also boost Enrique’s attacking options, as Randal Kolo Muani looks completely out of the picture in the Spaniard’s plans at the moment.
Ousmane Dembele will also start on the right side of the front three, as the French winger will serve a suspension for the next Champions League encounter. So, Luis Enrique will expect him to play a big role against Auxere. Marquinhos and Willian Pacho are the preferred centre-backs for this clash, while last weekend’s goalscorer Achraf Hakimi will start at right back, as Nuno Mendes keeps his place on the other flank.
Matvey Safonov will keep his place in goal for the time being, as Gianluigi Donnarumma might view himself as the starting goalkeeper in midweek. Joao Neves, Vitihnha and Warren Zaire-Emery are the likely midfield trio to support those front three stars.

Prediciton: Auxerre 1-2 Paris Saint-Germain
Despite excellent form at home this season, Auxerre will still find it very tough against the only remaining unbeaten side in Ligue 1, regardless of their well-documented troubles. Enrique would probably trade a result here to ensure they win on Tuesday, but even with a slightly rotated team, they should have enough to beat a tricky Auxerre outfit.
