After a frustrating mid-week 1-1 away draw against Lorient, Paris Saint-Germain will host OGC Nice at the Parc des Prince on Matchday 11 of Ligue 1 McDonald's, looking to get back to winning ways. For this game, Luis Enrique will have to do without Fabian Ruiz who is still recovering from his injury and Désiré Doué who sustained another muscular injury against Lorient. The France international should therefore miss several weeks of competition, including the upcoming Champions League clash against Bayern Munich next week.

Here is Les Parisiens' predicted starting XI against Nice.

PSG Predicted Lineup vs. Nice (4-3-3)

GK: Lucas Chevalier - The France international goalkeeper is the number one option and will therefore be the one starting between the post for PSG against Nice.

RB: Achraf Hakimi - After being rested against Lorient mid-week, Achraf Hakimi should make his return to the starting lineup against Nice over the weekend.

CB: Willian Pacho - Pacho should partner Marquinhos against Nice while Zabarnyi is set to be rested. However, the Ecuador international could be the one rested while Zabarnyi start next to Marquinhos.

CB: Marquinhos - The club captain will start against Nice after making his return against Lorient. He will play an important part as Paris is set to face Bayern next week in the Champions League.

LB: Nuno Mendes - The Portuguese left-back should be the one starting against Nice. However, Lucas Hernandez could get an opportunity to shine while Mendes is rested ahead of the clash against Bayern Munich.

CDM: Vitinha - Vitinha is one of the most important player of the squad and he will have another opportunity to prove it this weekend against Les Aiglons.

CM: Warren Zaire-Emery - The 19-year-old has been very good when he was given the chance to start for PSG recently while Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz were sidelined. He will have to showcase his recent progress once again against Nice.

CM: Joao Neves - After a long absence, the Portuguese midfielder made his return to action against Lorient and could earn his start since his injury against Nice. Though, Senny Mayulu could be the one getting the nod from Luis Enrique for this game.

RW: Bradley Barcola - The French winger will start against Nice after his recent good performances.

LW: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - After coming off the bench against Lorient, the Georgian should be given the opportunity to start against Nice this weekend.

ST: Gonçalo Ramos- The Portuguese striker is set to start against Nice while Ousmane Dembélé will be rested for the game ahead of the clash against Bayern Munich.
