Third-placed Monaco will welcome second-placed Marseille to Stade Louis II in an exciting Ligue 1 clash on Saturday. The visitors have a two-point lead over the Principality club.
The hosts saw their unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 end after four games last week, as they suffered a 2-1 away loss to Brest. Denis Zakaria equalized from the penalty spot in the 63rd minute, but Mahdi Camara bagged a stoppage-time winner for Brest.
Les Phocéens returned to winning ways after three consecutive defeats last week, recording a 3-2 home triumph over Toulouse. Gabriel Suazo's own goal put them in the lead, while Mason Greenwood and Adrien Rabiot scored in quick succession in the second half.
