Olympique Lyonnais host relegation-threatened AJ Auxerre this afternoon at the Groupama Stadium. Lyon have a chance to maintain their grip on the podium with a win today following last weekend's victory over Paris Saint-Germain .
Paulo Fonseca will go with a largely unchanged side from the team that won away at the Parc des Princes last Sunday. There will likely be no room for Ruben Kluivert in the defence, with Abner Vinícius expected to drop back into left back from his more experimental role in midfield.
With Kluivert likely to be on the bench, Fonseca should have room in his line-up for Olympiacos loanee Roman Yaremchuk to start in the no.9 role. Fonseca remains without Malick Fofana , Rémi Himbert, and Ernest Nuamah in his attack, with all three on the sidelines due to injury.
