Marseille vs PSG - Best combined XI of Le Classique | Ligue 1 2021-22

Defensive Midfielder: Idrissa Gueye (PSG)

Gueye has been a revelation in midfield for PSG this season.

PSG's array of attacking stars may have grabbed all the headlines. But Idrissa Gueye has starred in their strong start to the 2021-22 league campaign. His high energy level and unerring ability to win the ball with perfectly timed tackles and interceptions has added quality to PSG's midfield.

Although the Senegalese is tasked with doing all the dirty work, he has started adding goals to his game too. Gueye has netted four times this season already, including three in just six Ligue 1 appearances.

Defensive Midfielder: Matteo Guendozi (Marseille)

Guendozi has found his best form at Marseille under Sampaoli.

After falling out of favour at Arsenal, Matteo Guendozi came to Marseille on a season-long loan in the summer, and so far, he has done great.

Jorge Sampaoli is getting the best out of Guendouzi by pushing the 22-year-old into a more advanced role in midfield. The player has relished the extra attacking responsibility.

With three goals and two assists in Ligue 1 already, Guendozi is enjoying a new lease of life in his home country. Marseille stand to gain enormously from his improved form, and he could be a key player for them against PSG on Sunday.
