Lyon are going up against visiting rivals RC Lens at Groupama Stadium in the Ligue 1 fixture on Sunday, and we have the latest injury news and predicted line ups to hand.

Lyon will be looking for another win after the 4-1 Ligue 1 success vs Rennes. It looks as if Lyon will probably kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation this time and select Lucas Perri, A. Maitland-Niles, Clinton Mata, Moussa Niakhate, Nicolas Tagliafico, Nemanja Matic, Corentin Tolisso, Rayan Cherki, Thiago Almada, Malick Fofana and Georges Mikautadze.

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Lyon manager Jorge Maciel to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Ernest Nuamah is sidelined.

Possible Lyon team to play RC Lens

Since a loss in their previous game against AJ Auxerre in Ligue 1 action, RC Lens and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here. We believe Les Artésiens might elect for a 3-4-3 system, settling for Mathew Ryan, Jonathan Gradit, Malang Sarr, Facundo Medina, Ruben Aguilar, Adrien Thomasson, Neil El Aynaoui, Deiver Machado, Anass Zaroury, Goduine Koyalipou and Andy Diouf.

Lens manager Will Still has to choose a team with limited availability. Denis Petric (Back injury) and Rémy Labeau Lascary (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out on this game.
