Right Winger – Kylian Mbappé

The 19-year-old wonder kid just wont stop surprising people game after game. His speed and technique along with precision is what helped France lift the 2018 FIFA World Cup and hopefully will be an important factor for PSG when it comes to winning titles. Having scored 9 goals and assisted 3 in Ligue 1 including an amazing 4 goals in 13 minutes against Lyon, Kylian Mbappé is the current top scorer in France. Despite having a slow start to the season, The French Prodigy is finally making heatwaves over the football world and is bound to start and even score one or two against age-old rivals Marseille.

Center Forward – Edinson Cavani

El Matador hasn’t really been up to the mark this season. After recovering from an injury he suffered in the Quarter Finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Edinson Cavani has been considerably quiet. Unable to replicate his form from last season and the one before that, Cavani seems to be low on confidence and is very sluggish in attack.

More from Ligue 1

A goal is what he needs to boost his confidence and scoring an important goal in Sunday’s Le Classique will be the icing on the cake. PSG fans love their club’s top scorer and it’s just a matter of time before he starts ” Sniping ” again.

Left Winger – Neymar Jr

Neymar is clearly a man on the path of redemption. His on-field antiques during the World Cup were heavily criticized and the Brazilian seems to have learnt from his mistakes. “Lesser acting more football” seems to be his mantra now and he is hitting top form gradually after he broke his ankle in last years Le Classique. He’ll be back for revenge, looking to add to his goal tally of 8 in the league and also to prove many of his haters wrong.
