Paris Saint-Germain is set to take on Auxerre at the Parc des Princes on September 27 as they will look to bounce back from their Le Classique 1-0 defeat to Marseille. This loss did not only cost their top spot to the Parisians but it was also their first loss of the season, their first against Marseille at the Vélodrome in 14 years too.

However, Luis Enrique and his team were able to quickly move on from this defeat as they celebrated Ousmane Dembélé’s Ballon d'Or on the same night, which showcased PSG's domestic and European domination last season.

Moreover, Les Rouges et Bleus will have to do without several key players for this game against Auxerre, with Marquinhos being the latest to join the growing injury list ahead of their Champions League clash against Barcelona on October 1st.

Here is Les Parisiens' predicted starting XI against Auxerre.

PSG Predicted Lineup vs. Auxerre (4-3-3)

GK: Lucas Chevalier - The Frenchman will hope to regain some confidence against Auxerre after his costly mistake in Le Classique against Marseille.

RB: Achraf Hakimi - Even though, he should be rested for this game, it would be surprising to see Luis Enrique not give a starting berth to the Moroccan star.

CB: Illia Zabarnyi - With the Marquinhos' injury, the Ukraine international is set to start against Auxerre in Ligue 1and Barcelona in the Champions League.

CB: Lucas Beraldo - The Brazilian should make his return against Auxerre and partner Zabarnyi as Willian Pacho should be rested for this game.

LB: Lucas Hernandez - The former Bayern Munich player should earned a start for this upcoming league game as Nuno Mendes is expected to be rested.

CDM: Vitinha - The Portuguese maestro will certainly start this game and play around 60 minutes as Luis Enrique will manage his fitness before facing Barcelona.

CM: Warren Zaire-Emery - Despite his disappointing performances in Le Classique, Zaire-Emery should start against Auxerre with the numerous injuries in this sector for PSG.

CM: Senny Mayulu - The young Senny Mayulu should start against Auxerre, however, he could either be positioned in midfield or as a false number 9.

RW: Bradley Barcola - After missing Le Classique, Barcola should make his return to the starting lineup against Auxerre. However, he could be replaced by Kang-In Lee at the start of the game.

LW: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - One of the best player against Marseille, he should perform well against Auxerre.

ST: Gonçalo Ramos - The Portuguese should once again start at the top of PSG's offensive line. However, his coach might start with Mayulu as a false nine instead.
