Lille predicted XI v PSG: Jonathan David starts, Chuba Akpom benched | OneFootball

After defeating AS Monaco 2-1 last weekend at the Stade Pierre Mauroy, Lille OSC travel to the Parc des Princes tonight to take on a Paris Saint-Germain side that are undefeated domestically.

Last weekend, Bruno Génésio fielded winter recruit Chuba Akpom (on loan from Ajax) alongside Jonathan David as a two-man strike partnership from the start of the match for the first time. However, Lille will likely return to their more familiar shape with Akpom dropping to the bench and David featuring as the lone number nine.

Ayyoub Bouaddi will also be rested following his start against Monaco with Ngal’ayel Mukau partnering Benjamin André in the centre of defence. These two absences leave room for Mitchell Bakker and Matias Fernandez-Pardo to return to the line-up as the wingers.
