Following their thrilling 4-2 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League, Paris return to their Ligue 1 campaign with an away battle against RC Strasbourg this weekend. This game will come just before another massive clash against Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona.
Therefore, Luis Enrique should operate a large rotation of his team for the game against Strasbourg this weekend, though, the importance of this game cannot be understated as the Parisians aim to climb to the top of the league after a horrible start.
Here is Les Parisiens' predicted starting XI against RC Strasbourg.
PSG Predicted Lineup vs. RC Strasbourg (4-3-3)
GK: Matvey Safonov - The Russian had a good game against Manchester City, delivering several great saves.
RB: Achraf Hakimi - The Moroccan could be one of the only starters to start this upcoming game against Strasbourg. However, his coach could rest him and place Warren Zaire-Emery in this position.
CB: Illia Zabarnyi - The Ukraine international will start while Marquinhos is once again rested between two Champions League games.
CB: Willian Pacho - The Ecuador international will start and partner Zabarnyi in defence against Strasbourg.
LB: Lucas Digne - The Frenchman should start while Nuno Mendes is rested, though, the Portuguese could remain in the starting XI if Luis Enrique decided to give him more rhythm ahead of the clash against Barcelona next week.
CDM: Lucas Beraldo - The Brazilian scored last weekend against Le Mans from the spot and could start again this weekend.
CM: Dro Fernandez - The Spaniard will likely start this game against Strasbourg, which will give him another opportunity to showcase his talent.
CM: Joao Neves - The Portuguese should start once again after starting the clash against City on the bench earlier this week. He will likely play only 60 minutes and could be in contention to start against Barcelona next week.
RW: Désiré Doué - The Frenchman could be another element set to start both games after his remarkable performance against Manchester City. Though, his coach could rest him, and start with either Godts or Akliouche for this league game.
LW: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - The Georgian did not start against City midweek but after two consecutive games started on the bench, he could finally get a start against Strasbourg ahead of Barcelona.
ST: Ferran Torres - The Spaniard missed a penalty against City but had a fantastic start with Paris this season, he should get the nod and start against Strasbourg before facing his former team in the Champions League.
