PSG predicted XI v Lens: Ousmane Dembélé experiment ends with Marco Asensio return | OneFootball

This afternoon, league leaders Paris Saint-Germain have the opportunity to narrow the gap between themselves and AS Monaco in second by six points, when they host RC Lens at the Parc des Princes.

Luis Enrique will likely not make too many changes from the side that defeated eternal rivals Olympique de Marseille in last weekend’s Le Classique 3-0 demolition. The return of Marco Asensio to the lineup should mean that Ousmane Dembélé will shift away from his role as a false nine and back to the more familiar trappings as a right winger.

In defence, Willian Pacho will likely drop to the bench in favour of Milan Škriniar. Transfer rumours have swirled around the former Internazionale Milan defender, however, for now, he appears to form an important relay role with Pacho giving the summer signing rest.
