The official line-ups for the Lille vs. Paris Saint-Germain match were announced by the LFP and both teams, revealing some adjustments made by PSG while still fielding a top-tier squad on their starting XI.

PSG's manager Luis Enrique has made notable changes to the team that previously drew 1-1 against Borussia Dortmund, although many of those are linked to load management other than tactical adjustments.

Ousmane Dembele will return to the left wing while sharing the field on the forward line with Kylian Mbappe as the lone striker and Bradley Barcola to his right in an all-French forward line.

Arnau Tenas will be the goalkeeper once more with Gianluigi Donnarumma completing his two-game ban today. On defense, PSG will field Marquinhos, Danilo, and Lucas Hernandez.

The midfield will feature Uruguay international Manuel Ugarte, along with Lee and Vitinha. Zaire-Emery is also starting although it's still uncertain if he'll be a fourth midfielder or drop to the right-back position he's been deployed at in the past.

Lille's lineup, on the other hand, aligns closely with the media's predictions and is simply its best-possible XI barring the change of including Yazici up front instead of David, with Diakite also starting as Lille's right back on Sunday.
