Any lineup is possible, given the team’s established habits and the players available. That said, nothing is certain. For instance, Troyes might opt to adapt against PSG by adopting a more defensive setup, or they could choose to stick to their usual principles—a difficult decision when facing a side like Paris.
As for the Parisians, coach Luis Enrique has kept everyone guessing regarding his starting lineups, thanks to the squad’s high level of versatility and the fierce daily competition for places. There is also the possibility of some rotation; several key players were rested the previous Friday against Le Havre, and while there has been some recovery time following Tuesday’s Champions League match against Villarreal, the start of the season has been intense. The Spanish manager frequently emphasizes the importance of keeping every member of the squad engaged—it is up to the players to be ready.
Definitive information on the lineups will only emerge about an hour before kickoff, with the official announcement. Even then, questions may still arise regarding the precise role or position of individual players.
