Lille preview: In good mood after securing a place in the Champions League
While they've lost their second leg of the playoff round for the Champions League group stages to Slavia Prague, Lille have managed to secure their place in the elite with a 3-2 aggregate win. On top of that, Lille have started the new Ligue 1 season with a couple of 2-0 wins over Angers and Reims, so they will enter their upcoming duel with the defending champions high on confidence.

PSG preview: Started the new season in good form
With a couple of convincing win over Le Havre and Montpellier, PSG have already taken the top of the standings as the defending champions and a +9 goal difference after just two rounds. So far, it seems that Mbappe's departure hasn't affected them too much, at least when it comes to domestic dominance, but their next game against Lille will be the first serious test for this team.
When it comes to team news, Presnel Kimpembe and Goncalo Ramos are out with injuries.
Predicted lineup: Donnarumma (GK), Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Joao Neves, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Dembele, Marco Asensio & Barcola

Player to watch: Jonathan David
The Canadian forward has been crucial in Lille's system since last season when he scored 19 goals in Ligue 1. He also helped Lille secure their place in the Champions League with a couple of goals in the qualifiers, so we'll keep a close eye on him against PSG too.
