This Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) faces Nice (8th) at the Parc des Princes for Matchday 11 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season (kick-off at 5 pm, CET). PSG coach Luis Enrique must choose his starting eleven, taking into account the opponent, upcoming matches, and the risk of suspensions, after having selected the squad for this game.
It’s a busy period, and it’s difficult to know exactly how to manage the squad. They need to win to defend first place in the league, with the top six spots separated by just two points, and also to boost their confidence before Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Bayern Munich (Matchday 4).
This match is certainly a factor in squad management, even if it’s important not to let it dominate their thoughts. Finding the right balance is difficult; there are many options to consider, including the need for match fitness, confidence, or rest.
Possible lineup:
Barcola – Ramos – Kvaratskhelia
Lee – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Chevalier
Substitutes -Safonov, Marin, Beraldo, Hernandez, Zabarnyi, Mayulu, Ndjantou, Ruiz, Zaïre-Emery, Dembélé.
Unavailable – Doué (injury), Mbaye (U19).
Possible suspensions for yellow cards: Lucas Hernandez and Bradley Barcola.
This suspension would be effective for the home game against Le Havre on November 22nd for Matchday 13 of Ligue 1.
