PSG v Nice
Valenciennes v Montpellier
Le Mans v Auxerre
Nancy v St Etienne
Monaco v Grenoble
Lorient v Boulogne
Sochaux v Lens
Lille v Bordeaux
Toulouse v Rennes
Lyon v Marseille
Top game is the Sunday night match at the Stade Gerland where Marseille make the trip to Lyon. Marseille still have that game in hand, so their position in seventh is a little false while Lyon are very much in second. Worries about recent form were partly quelled by the draw with Liverpool in midweek, but problems at centre half continue with Jeremy Toulalan still deployed there rather than in midfield. There'll be no Miralem Pjanic, Francois Clerc or Anthony Reveillere as well. Marseille put six away in the Champions League and approach this in good form. It could be a tough night for OL. Bordeaux go to Lille in what looks a straightforward fixture for the champions, but not as straightforward as Monaco's trip to The Worst Team In Europe™. That'll be Grenoble then. It's an important phase of the competition for Montpellier in terms of trying to prove their early season form wasn't just a blip. A trip to Valenciennes will test their mettle.
Auxerre are going well, unlike their opponents this week, Le Mans. In a similar vein, Sochaux welcome Lens to the Stade Bonal. There are some interesting mid-table clashes, none moreso than Rennes's trip to Toulouse. PSG have a visit from Nice, Boulogne go to Lorient and Nancy take on St Etienne in the remaining games.
