As always, we are exercising some caution, since these are not the official lineups. The media doesn’t have the full picture—especially with a manager like Luis Enrique, who is known for springing surprises. He faces tough choices with a versatile squad, stiff competition for places, a return from a long international break, and a Champions League clash against Manchester City on Wednesday—all while aiming to beat a confident Le Mans side.
There are plenty of options, so we will wait for the official team announcements—usually about an hour before kickoff—to know for sure. The same applies to Le Mans, who might—though aren’t obliged to—tweak their setup in a bid to pull off an upset.
