Mauricio Pochettino should line up all his best elements this Sunday evening in Brittany (9 pm) to hope to glean the title. Alone


What will Mauricio Pochettino's last composition look like?

To conclude the 2020-2021 season, with still hopes for a title in Ligue 1, the Argentinian should not spare his strength on the lawn of Brest this Sunday evening (9 p.m.).

The first good news is that the technician will be able to count on the suspension returns of Neymar and Presnel Kimpembe.

The two executives missed the Coupe de France final on Wednesday (success against Monaco 2-0).

The defender was even absent for three games after being excluded from Rennes (1-1) on May 9.

“Presko” will therefore regain his place in central defense alongside Captain Marquinhos.

The expected laterals are called Alessandro Florenzi, on the right, for whom it could be the last appearance in the Parisian jersey, and Abdou Diallo on the left.

In midfield, a doublet composed of Leandro Paredes and Idrissa Gueye, the most used by Pochettino, should start.

In this sector of the game, PSG must do without Marco Verratti, whose season ended with a knee injury since May 4.

Layvin Kurzawa (ankle) and Juan Bernat (knee) are the other notable absentees from the Paris group.

PSG will need to score in Brest in order to put pressure on Lille, traveling to Angers.

For this, an offensive "quartet" composed of Neymar, Angel Di Maria, Mauro Icardi and Kylian Mbappé is hoped for.

Scorers Wednesday against Monaco, the latter two are in good shape at the end of the season.

The French striker, who will be named the best player in Ligue 1 this Sunday, will want to continue his streak of goals and validate his top scorer trophy of the season.

With 26 units, he is quietly ahead of Memphis Depay and Wissam Ben Yedder (20 goals each).

The probable eleven

: Navas - Florenzi, Marquinhos (cap.), Kimpembe, Diallo - Paredes, Gueye - Di Maria, Neymar, Mbappé - Icardi.
