PSG's predicted starting XI to face Le Havre this Saturday
As the PSG vs. Le Havre match approaches on Saturday night, the first trends are already emerging for the lineups, even though there are still many uncertainties, especially on the Parisian side.
Just three days after their overwhelming 4-1 victory over Lorient, PSG hosts Le Havre this Saturday evening for the 31st round of Ligue 1, a match that could crown the Parisians, determined not to let the opportunity slip away.
The Parisian infirmary is almost empty as only Presnel Kimpembe and Sergio Rico, long-term injured, are there, while all recent suspensions have been served. Suffice it to say that Luis Enrique has a wealth of options when it comes to selecting the PSG lineup.
No risks will be taken with the players ahead of Wednesday's Champions League match, making the Parisian team composition particularly difficult to predict.
In goal, and despite slight doubts, Gianluigi Donnarumma is expected, but Keylor Navas occasionally gets some Ligue 1 matches. However, given the Italian's disciplinary situation, it is more prudent and logical to rest him against Toulouse.
In defense, the rotation is expected to resume, with all four players likely to change from the Lorient match: Achraf Hakimi and Marquinhos stayed home, while Danilo and Lucas Beraldo remained on the bench.
Nuno Mendes could, however, continue given that he played only a significant hour, but it is not the trend considering the precautions taken with him.
PSG at full strength to face Le Havre
In midfield, Warren Zaire-Emery and Vitinha are expected to reclaim their starting spots, and the final spot seems to be between three players: Manuel Ugarte, who would then be the holding midfielder, Carlos Soler, or Marco Asensio.
In attack, Bradley Barcola is logically expected to start in the lineup after being rested in Lorient, while Ousmane Dembele and Kylian Mbappe, who played the entire match on Wednesday night, are likely to start on the bench.
Randal Kolo Muani has a good chance of starting, and the final spot is up for grabs: Asensio or Kang-In Lee on the right, Goncalo Ramos in the center and Kolo Muani on the flank, Barcola on the right, and Mayulu on the left? There are many options for Luis Enrique, and he is never against a good surprise.
PSG's predicted lineup against Le Havre: Donnarumma - Hakimi, Marquinhos, Danilo, Beraldo - Zaire-Emery, Ugarte (or Soler), Vitinha - Asensio, Kolo Muani, Barcola.
