  • Rudi Garcia should have inspirational captain Dimitri Payet available after the playmaker missed the weekend league match against Guingamp with a minor thigh niggle. Garcia will have to decide whether to deploy Luiz Gustavo in defence or in midfield, while the powerful André Zambo Anguissa is a midfield alternative to Maxime Lopez. Hiroki Sakai could pip Bouna Sarr – struggling with a shoulder injury – to the right-back berth.

  • Diego Simeone has a welcome headache at left-back following Filipe Luís's speedy recovery from injury, however youngster Lucas Hernández has made the position his own in the Brazilian's absence and expect him to start. It will be a toss-up between Thomas Partey and captain Gabi in central midfield; expect the latter's big-game experience to earn him the nod, though.
