Lyon vs. PSG: Team News, Predicted Line-Ups, Live Stream, TV InfoJacques Brinon/Associated PressOlympique Lyonnais welcome defending champions Paris Saint-Germain to Stade Gerland on Sunday as two of Ligue 1’s top three go head-to-head. Two points separate the pair ahead of kick-off, but Olympique de Marseille could temporarily lead going into the game depending on how they fare away at Stade Rennais on Saturday. Date: Sunday, February 8Time: 8 p.
With El Flaco not in the squad, the creative burden will fall to the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Lucas Moura. The Brazilian has been slightly off-colour for the past few weeks and will need more than just his incredible speed to cause a solid and settled Lyon midfield and defence. The 22-year-old has scored seven league goals and laid on a further two so far this season and will be required to provide Ibrahimovic and Cavani with the ammunition necessary to down OL. Les Parisiens are in need of a convincing performance. In order for that to happen, then they will need to score more than just one goal and scrap it out to keep a clean sheet. Laurent Cipriani/Associated PressKey BattleOne of the most important battles in this game will be that between Bisevac’s replacement in the Lyon defence, Lindsay Rose, and PSG’s Ibrahimovic.
Although Lyon also boast a strong defence, the hosts will need to score at least once to win the game. With eight league goals and five assists to his name already this season, that responsibility will fall to Fekir, even if he is more of a creative player. Yoann Gourcuff could be another to step up for Fournier’s men and has the experience to make the difference in a game like this. But for Lyon to win, Fekir will be needed to play his part after that disappointing outing in Monaco. As for PSG, the French champions have been struggling in front of goal lately. David Vincent/Associated PressThere is a lack of creativity in the team, which was emphasised in the 1-0 Coupe de la Ligue semi-final win over Lille OSC in midweek. Argentinian playmaker Javier Pastore continued absence with a calf problem, as confirmed by PSG.
The super Swede has been well below his usual levels of excellence so far this season, and Bisevac, a player familiar with the talismanic No. 10 from their time together in Paris, would have known how to handle him. However, Rose has looked off the pace in the handful of appearances he has made so far this season, yet he is expected to be thrust into the heart of what has become an extremely strong Lyon back line.
Mvuemba - Ferri - Malbranque - Gourcuff - Ghezzal - Benzia - Cornet - Fekir - Njie. #teamOLThe fact that Laurent Blanc’s men have arrested an alarming run of form in recent weeks, thanks largely to a stabilised defence, makes this game’s deciding factor how Lyon boss Hubert Fournier handles the absences of Lacazette and Bisevac.

Kaz Photography/Getty ImagesThe talented 22-year-old’s lack of game time will benefit Ibrahimovic, as the OL man is more likely to back off him and show him respect. Therefore, perhaps this matchup is exactly what Zlatan needs to get back to something close to resembling his best. Samuel Umtiti will do his best to keep the likes of Ibrahimovic and Cavani at bay, but PSG will almost certainly target Rose in the centre of defence and ex-Parisien Christophe Jallet on the right. As a former team-mate, Blanc’s men will be well versed on the best ways to expose the full-back. Without Lacazette, the PSG defence has less to worry about, which means the emphasis is placed on the battle between the two midfields. The capital club are unlikely to be able to dictate the play as much as they are usually allowed to, so it is a question of how Blanc’s team bridge the gap between midfield and attack in order to get at Rose and Jallet.
