This Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) will face Olympique de Marseille (7th) at the Stade Vélodrome for matchday 5 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season (kick-off at 8:45 pm, CET). Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique must select his starting XI, taking into account the opponent, upcoming matches, and the risk of suspensions, after preparing the squad for this match.
With only 6 days until the next match, away at Auxerre on Saturday, this is one less factor to consider when choosing the starting lineup. We can expect a “standard” starting XI, but with a few questions remaining. There was the Champions League match on Wednesday, so player fatigue and rotation will be important considerations. Not to mention the daily competition for positions, which is often unseen, as well as the detailed analysis of the opponent that Luis Enrique and his staff have conducted.
Possible starting lineup:
Kvaratskhelia – Ramos – Lee
Ruiz – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Chevalier
Substitutes – Safonov, Marin, Beraldo, Hernandez, Kamara, Zabarnyi, Mayulu, Mbaye.
Unavailable – Barcola Dembélé, Doué, Neves (injury).
Possible suspension for yellow card: None.
