Samuel Umtiti isn't taking any chances and kicks the ball out after dispossessing Lucas Moura. David Luiz puts a header just wide from the resulting corner. Should do better there.

13'
An uncharacteristically sloppy pass from Maxime Gonalons allowed PSG to break there. The Lyon captain has been imperious so far this season.

5 minutes to kick off at the Stade Gerland! It is 7 years since Lyon last won the title - a victory tonight would be a huge step towards ending that run. The club has won many plaudits this season for their talented academy players - they have fielded 14 graduates in the first team so far.

Lyon line up with a 4-4-2 diamond. They are without star striker Alexandre Lacazette and experienced defender Milan Bisevac, who could both prove big losses. OL will be hoping for a big performance from Yoann Gourcuff, who starts tonight at the tip of the diamond.
