Auxerre

Elikya Legros is set to continue in Auxerre's back line, winning more of his duels there than his likely partner Christ Makosso, 57 per cent to 50, across the club's recent matches. The pairing has shifted from game to game, but Legros looks to have done enough to keep his place for Saturday.

Cameron Archer took his chance up front in the win over Lyon, scoring on his first start of the campaign, and is in line to lead the line again. Behind him, Clément Akpa is set to continue at left-back despite a modest return in his three starts there, winning 49 per cent of his duels in that time.

Nice

Melvin Bard has been left out of Nice's squad entirely, even though he started twice in the club's last three matches.

In midfield, Axel Witsel is set to keep his place after starting twice recently, with Everton Pereira - who won more of his duels in his one game there, 71 per cent to Witsel's 40 - still waiting for another chance. Out wide, Nathan Ngoumou is in line to start ahead of Gauthier Hein on Saturday, though Hein remains the alternative if that wide role is reconsidered.
