Usual solitary escape of PSG, which has seven points on the surprise Lens, but has an account to settle by hosting the Lilla who snatched the championship and is not repeating itself.
The other important match is the one between Lyon in a bad season and Lens.
On the other hand, Nice is back in competition, having a difficult challenge in easy for Angers while the one who seems to be the most difficult opponent for PSG, Marseille, has an easy commitment at Clermont's home before playing with Lazio.
At least in part, the emergency in attack against Paris-Saint-Germain is included. The club has announced that Lionel Messi is among the 22 called up for tonight's home game against Lille. The participation of the 'flea' was questioned due to a muscle problem. The Argentine striker on Thursday morning had skipped collective training, "as a precaution", said coach Mauricio Pochettino. "He felt a muscle discomfort," explained the technician, without specifying where the pain was. Messi has had physical problems since the start of the season, including a bruised knee bone that caused him to miss two matches in September. He has not yet scored his first goal in the French league, despite three goals in the Champions League.Like Messi, Neymar, Angel di Maria and Mauro Icardi appear among those called up for the 12th matchday of Ligue 1. Absent Kylian Mbappé (illness), Marco Verratti (hip), Sergio Ramos (calf), Leandro Paredes (quadriceps) and Achraf Hakimi (suspended).
