PSG predicted lineup vs Brest - Ligue 1 | OneFootball

Now out of both the Champions League and the Coupe de France, Paris Saint-Germain can keep their focus on retaining the Ligue 1 title.

Christophe Galtier's side are eight points clear at the top of the standings and will expect to retain their advantage when they travel to face a struggling Brest side on Saturday, with the boss looking to shake off the cobwebs after the defeat to Bayern Munich.

Here's how he could set up.

GK: Gianluigi Donnarumma - Donnarumma has come under fire in recent weeks for failing to take the leap expected of him. The Italian has shipped eight goals in his last four league outings.

CB: Danilo Pereira - The injury to Presnel Kimpembe has seen Pereira forced to drop back into defence.

CB: Sergio Ramos - Ramos is the only senior centre-back who is actually fit.

CB: El Chadaille Bitshiabu - The young skyscraper will be forced into the starting lineup after PSG lost both Marquinhos and Nordi Mukiele against Bayern.

RM: Achraf Hakimi - Any hopes to rest Hakimi after his recent return from injury were dashed by the departure of Mukiele.

CM: Warren Zaire-Emery - There's going to be a rebuild in Paris this summer so it's time to start focusing on those players who will definitely form part of the future. 17-year-old Zaire-Emery will be a key player in Paris for the next decade.

CM: Marco Verratti - Fresh off an abysmal defensive performance against Bayern, Verratti will be keen to make things right here.

CM: Vitinha - Had his left foot been a little stronger, there's a chance PSG could still be in the Champions League.

LM: Nuno Mendes - Mendes is another integral part of PSG's long-term vision, and those in charge clearly already know that.
