Following their impressive 5-0 victory against their rivals Marseille in Le Classique, Luis Enrique and PSG are set to face Rennes at the Roazhon Park on Matchday 22 of Ligue 1 McDonald's.

For this game, Luis Enrique should be expected to rotate his team ahead of the Champions League Play-offs clash against Monaco. However, with the game against Rennes taking place on Friday, the European Champions could still align a strong squad.

Here is Les Parisiens' predicted starting XI against Stade Rennais.

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

GK: Matvey Safonov - The Russian seems to be the number one option for Luis Enrique between the posts after delivering several remarkable performances. He will look to keep his great run of form going against Rennes ahead of the Champions League Play-off clash against Monaco.

RB: Achraf Hakimi - After his suspension against Marseille last weekend, the Morocco international should make his return to the starting lineup against Rennes.

CB: Illia Zabarnyi - The Ukraine international should be the one partnering Willian Pacho in the heart of PSG's backline against Rennes while Marquinhos is rested ahead of the upcoming Champions League battle against Monaco.

CB: Willian Pacho - The Ecuador international is one of the most important piece of Luis Enrique's system. He will therefore be starting against Rennes. However, the Spaniard might decide to rest him and give a chance to Lucas Beraldo.

LB: Nuno Mendes - The Portuguese left-back is proving week in and week out that he is the best at his position in the world. His fantastic display against Marseille was one of the keys to Paris' dominant win in Le Classique.

CDM: Joao Neves - The Portuguese midfielder should be the one starting as the sentinel in midfield while Vitinha could be rested before the clash against Monaco.

CM: Warren Zaire-Emery - The France international has been a completely changed player this season, reaching a higher level while mostly featuring as a right-back due to Achraf Hakimi's long term injury earlier this season.

CM: Dro Fernandez - The former FC Barcelona youngster could be set to make his first start with PSG against Rennes. He has shown real promise in the 15 minutes he played against Marseille and this game could be a great opportunity for him to shine.

RW: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - The Georgian star who recently turned 25 is set to start against Rennes. He scored a wonderful goal against Marseille and will look to continue his scoring form.

LW: Ibrahim Mbaye - The Senegalese international should be the one starting against Rennes as Luis Enrique should rotate his team before the Champions League.

ST: Gonçalo Ramos - The Portuguese could be the one leading the line against Rennes while Ousmane Dembélé is rested.
