Odsonne Édouard will lead the line for RC Lens when they host Olympique de Marseille at the Stade Bollaert on Saturday night. 

Édouard has made the No.9 role his own since making the move from Crystal Palace over the summer. He will be flanked by Florian Thauvin, who is coming up against his former club, and Morgan Guilvaogui, who could get the nod over Abdallah Sima. The former Stade Brestois forward may have to settle for a place on the bench. 

There are no big-name absentees for Pierre Sage to contend with and he is set to keep with a relatively settled side, meaning that there will be no space in the starting XI for the likes of Wesley Said, Florian Sotoca, and Deiver Machado.
