Player to watch: Moses Simon
Moses Simon set up the equaliser in Nantes' 1-1 draw with Lyon last weekend. With 11 direct goal involvements in 17 league assignments, the Nigerian winger leads the team in both goals and assists. Simon also set up the opening goal in the reverse fixture, so it will be interesting to see how he fares on Sunday evening.
