Strasbourg travel to Rennes’ Roazhon Park for Ligue 1’s Matchday 11. Liam Rosenior’s Alsatians need a win to stay within touching distance of PSG and Marseille, who both won on Saturday. Should they win today in Brittany, Strasbourg would go level on points with OM. Rosenior is expected to stick with his favoured 3-4-3 formation, although club captain Ismaël Doukouré will miss out through suspension.

In his absence, Mamadou Sarr will inherit the skipper’s armband. The OL Academy graduate will start alongside Guéla Doué and Andrew Omobamidele at the back. Former Chelsea full-back Ben Chilwell is poised to get the nod from Rosenior on Strasbourg’s left side. Paraguay international Julio Enciso and Diego Moreira are set to provide support for Joaquin Panichelli.

The Argentine goal-scoring sensation has taken Ligue 1 by storm. He currently leads Ligue 1 goalscoring charts with nine strikes.
