------------------------------
PSG
Luis Enrique could be in a tricky position to decide whether to rest his best players for the upcoming clash with Liverpool or go with his strongest lineup against Lille. Regardless of their unprecedented position at the summit, the Ligue 1 game remains one of the biggest games of the season.
Enrique did heavily change his setup in midweek for the cup clash with Stade Briochin and might bring his best players to the fore. Goncalo Ramos, despite scoring a hat-trick in that game, may have to contend with a place on the bench, as the PSG manager might prefer to start with a frontline of Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, and Bradley Barcola against Lille.
This means even Khvicha Kvaratskhelia may have to stay on as a substitute. Marquinhos and Nuno Mendes are expected to return to the defensive line to play alongside Achraf Hakimi and Willian Pacho. Even in midfield, Fabian Ruiz will keep his place alongside Joao Neves as Vitinha returns to the starting eleven.
LOSC Lille
While PSG do not have a single missing player on their roster, Lille have to contend with key injuries. The news on Edon Zhegrova has rocked the club, with the player informing his desire to quit in the summer. He is out injured alongside Samuel Umtiti, while Remy Cabella is expected to make a swift return to the lineup despite some concerns over his hamstring.
Lille will continue to deploy a 4-2-3-1 shape against PSG, with Bafode Diakite and Alexandro Ribeiro forming the central defensive partnershup. Mitchel Bakker will play the right-back slot, with Gabriel Gudmundsson taking the left-back slot.
Angel Gomes and Benjamin Andre will retain their central defensive berths, while Hakon Haraldsson takes the advanced role in the attacking setup. Cabella and Osame Sahraoui will provide the width in the attacking third, with Lille’s key man and the in-demand Jonathan David, leading the line.
Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:
Safonov; Hakimi, Lucas Beraldo, Pacho, Hernandez; Zaire-Emery, Fabian Ruiz, Mayulu; Doue, Goncalo Ramos, Kvaratskhelia
Lille possible starting lineup:
Chevalier; Meunier, Alexsandro, Diakite, Gudmundsson; Bouaddi, Andre, Mukau, Haraldsson; David, Akpom
PSG vs Lille Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
The two teams have met 102 times in all competitions. As expected, the hosts have the upper hand in these meetings with 44 wins. Les Dogues have registered 32 wins and 26 games have ended in draws.
The capital club are unbeaten in their last seven meetings against the visitors, recording six wins. They registered a 3-1 away win in the reverse fixture in September.
PSG have scored at least three goals in five of their last six meetings against Les Dogues.
Lille have won just one of their last six Ligue 1 away games, with four ending in draws.
The league leaders have the best defensive record in Ligue 1, conceding 22 goals in 23 games. The visitors have the second-best defensive record, conceding 23 goals.
Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 Lille
PSG have thrashed almost all oncomers in 2025, and even impressive outfits Monaco and Brest have suffered sobering beatings here of late, illustrating the task ahead of Lille. Genesio could also prioritise the trip to Germany on Tuesday, meaning just a third defeat in 15 league games could be on the cards for the visitors, while PSG will expect to notch a 19th win in 20 matches.
