Lens News
Defender Massadio Haidara is Lens's only casualty to date as he remains out with a groin injury.
That means Haise has almost a full squad to choose from, but considering his strong form and 4-1 win last weekend, there's a very slim chance that the starting eleven will have some changes, which means the squad You should line up according to your coach's favorite formation but with different players.

This is how Lens arrives
Many Lens´s fans would have been happy to see the team simply consolidate themselves as a top-half regular this season, after their impressive seventh-placed finish in Ligue 1 last term on their return to the top flight.
They have gone far beyond that, though, having amassed 21 points in their first 11 games to sit behind only the dominant PSG in the standings.
Their loss to Montpellier proved to be just a blip as Franck Haise's men bounced back in style with a comfortable 4-1 victory over struggling Metz last weekend, Wesley Said grabbing a first-half brace and the points being wrapped up in the final 10 minutes by the impressively-named duo of Ignatius Ganago and Przemyslaw Frankowski.
Whilst many of their competitors for the top four spots are wrapped up in European competition, Lens are able to focus solely on their league campaign, and it is showing with consistent performances and 20 goals scored already.
This is how Lyon arrives
Lyon's form has been fairly hit and miss so far this campaign. They started the season slowly with just two points from their first three games, but appeared to be on the up coming into their match with Nice last weekend - an away game at Paris Saint-Germain their only defeat in the last eight and having just beaten Monaco 2-0.
Things were still looking rosy 80 minutes into the game, after Karl Toko Ekambi had continued his strong form in front of goal to put them ahead after 35 minutes and Houssem Aouar then doubled their lead in the 68th minute.
By the final whistle, however, thing looked very different - substitute Youcef Atal sent an unstoppable shot high into the roof of the net in the 81st minute, before Tino Kadewere was sent off for a rash challenge four minutes later, and Nice completed a remarkable turnaround with an 89th-minute penalty and a 91st-minute winner from Evann Guessand.
The manager will also have to be aware of the fact that his side's discipline record is fast becoming a big issue - Kadewere's dismissal makes it four red cards in the space of four games, with Malo Gusto having seen red against Sparta Prague in the Europa League, Anthony Lopes against Saint-Etienne and Emerson Palmieri in the game with Lorient.
The match will be played at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais
