Marseille

Timothy Weah and CJ Egan-Riley are expected to retain their places in Marseille’s defence after starting against Le Havre. Weah has started twice at right-back recently, while Kelyann Bezahaf started there on the other two occasions but did not play against Le Havre. Egan-Riley is expected to continue at right centre-back; Bamo Meïté has started there twice in the last five matches but also did not play against Le Havre.

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg made his first start in the last five matches against Le Havre and is expected to continue alongside Tochukwu Nnadi in midfield. Derek Cornelius is doubtful due to a hip injury.

Toulouse

Rafik Messali is set to miss several weeks for Toulouse after suffering a thigh injury, having started all five of the club's last matches at right-back. Ismail Diallo is expected to take his place against Marseille.

Aron Dønnum is suspended and cannot start on the right of midfield, making Ilyas Azizi the likely replacement. Azizi has started three of the last five matches, although he appeared as a substitute against Troyes. Casper Tengstedt remains central to the attack after scoring five goals in his last four starts, while Guillaume Restes is expected to continue in goal.
