Marseille are in for a test here. OM are winless in their last five Ligue 1 games and haven't won any of their last seven home matches against PSG in Ligue 1. However, they did beat the champions 1-0 in the reverse fixture at the Parc des Princes last September. Will PSG roll on as usual or can Marseille do the double over PSG for the first time since 2009/10?
Larguet makes four changes to the Marseille side that drew 2-2 away to Lens a few days ago. Nagatomo, Gueye and Rongier come in. There are five changes to the PSG side that beat Nimes 3-0 midweek. Neymar starts this game on the bench.
SUBS: Danilo Pereira, Pablo Sarabia, Julian Draxler, Moise Kean, Neymar, Alexandre Letellier, Mitchel Bakker, Thilo Kehrer, Rafinha.
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN (4-3-3): Sergio Rico; Alessandro Florenzi, Marquinhos (c), Presnel Kimpembe, Layvin Kurzawa; Idrissa Gueye, Leandro Paredes, Marco Verratti; Angel Di Maria, Mauro Icardi, Kylian Mbappe.
SUBS: Luis Henrique, Cheick Souare, Leonardo Balerdi, Pol Lirola, Michael Cuisance, Dario Benedetto, Saif-Eddine Khaoui, Lucas Perrin, Yohann Pele.
MARSEILLE (4-3-3): Steve Mandanda (c); Hiroki Sakai, Alvaro Gonzalez, Duje Caleta-Car, Yuto Nagatomo; Valentin Rongier, Boubacar Kamara, Pape Alassane Gueye; Florian Thauvin, Valere Germain, Dimitri Payet.
While Marseille's season is starting to look like a write-off, champions PSG still have high hopes of defending their Ligue 1 title. PSG are currently third behind Lille and Lyon and really need a win to keep breathing down the frontrunners' necks. After PSG defeated Marseille 2-1 in the Trophee des Champions a few weeks ago, Mauricio Pochettino will be confident his side can repeat the trick here.
It's hard to imagine that Marseille could enter Le Classique in greater disarray. Just days after Andre Villas-Boas's messy departure from the club, Nasser Larguet takes interim charge of ninth-placed OM for their 100th ever competitive meeting with PSG.
