By Euan Burns
Paris Saint-Germain will be looking to spoil the party when they head south in the Coupe de France to take on US Revel, a sixth-tier side who are gearing up for a huge Sunday night.
Luis Enrique's PSG side are fresh from winning the Trophee des Champions final against Toulouse 2-0 earlier in the week as goals from Kylian Mbappe and Lee Kang-in secured a solid-enough victory.
As is often the case for games against such minnows, Enrique is expected to make a number of changes for the Revel clash, meaning fringe players and youngsters should get a chance to show what they can do.
Here's the starting lineup Enrique may choose for Revel vs PSG in the Coupe de France.
PSG predicted lineup vs Revel (4-3-3)
GK: Keylor Navas - Sergio Rico is out of the frame and it seems more plausible for Navas to start here, with Gianluigi Donnarumma dropping to the bench.
RB: Nordi Mukiele - A rest is in store for Achraf Hakimi and Mukiele should be on a mission to impress here, having started only four Ligue 1 games so far this season.
CB: Marquinhos - Given PSG actually have limited fit options in defence right now, Marquinhos should keep his place and provide some continuity.
CB: Lucas Beraldo - The young Brazilian's every touch was cheered by fans when he came off the bench for his debut against Toulouse and he looked confident. This is a great chance to give him 90 minutes for his new club.
LB: Layvin Kurzawa - Yep, he's still knocking about. Kurzawa has found appearances very hard to come by this season but Enrique may whack him in for this match, especially with Nuno Mendes out injured.
CM: Ethan Mbappe - Why not? PSG should be able to win this with almost anyone on the pitch and, having made one Ligue 1 appearance, this could be a great chance to give the younger Mbappe brother a chance.
CM: Danilo Pereira - Another struggling for regular minutes, playing Pereira will help to keep him sweet as a rotation player for the rest of the season.
CM: Carlos Soler - Soler has been solid when called upon this season and it would only be fair to start him here. There's also a chance he's used in attack instead.
RW: Randal Kolo Muani - The French forward has not made an emphatic start to life in Paris but is contributing and would love to get a goal or two here.
ST: Goncalo Ramos - Must build on his three goals so far this season and this is a great opportunity. Hugo Ekitike could also play but he seems destined to leave this month instead.
LW: Bradley Barcola - Becoming very important as a regular performer now for PSG, it might be best not to disrupt 21-year-old Barcola's rhythm.
