PSG predicted XI v Lens: Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to start, despite Luis Enrique rotation
Whilst Luis Enrique is expected to field a largely weakened side when Paris Saint-Germain face RC Lens on Wednesday night, the likes of Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are, nonetheless, expected to start.
A draw will secure a fifth consecutive Ligue 1 title for PSG. However, their attention has already turned to their UEFA Champions League final against Arsenal at the end of the month. Even if they lose against Lens and then again against Paris FC on the final day of the season (Sunday), it is almost impossible for Pierre Sageâs side to catch *Les Parisiens.*Lens have a -15 goal difference to overcome, as well as a six-point deficit, in just two games.
In defence and midfield, there is expected to be a great degree of rotation, but not in the forward line.
