PSG possible lineup for Ligue 1 encounter against Nice

PSG Central Midfielder - Danilo Pereira

Paris Saint Germain v RC Strasbourg - Ligue 1 Uber Eats

Danilo Pereira has definitely stepped up to the task in 2022. He has scored four goals in his last three Ligue 1 appearances and was one of PSG's best players against St-Etienne last week.

He started sloppily, giving the ball away which led to St-Etienne's opening goal of the game. But the Portuguese international was a man on a mission since the mishap and contributed equally well on both sides of the pitch.

He produced a towering header to make it 3-1 on the night for PSG. Pereira could be used from the start against St-Etienne as both Leandro Paredes and Ander Herrera are doubts for the game.

Central midfielder - Idrissa Gueye

Idrissa Gueye did a decent job against St-Etienne. The Senegalese international did well in possession and kept things ticking in midfield. He hardly gave the ball away. Due to the unavailability of Paredes and Herrera, Gueye is likely to start at the heart of midfield once again.

His energy will be of great use against Real Madrid in midweek. So even if the 32-year-old starts against Nice, he's likely to be pulled in the second half. Young PSG midfielder Eric Ebimbe could come off the bench to replace Gueye against Nice or could even start ahead of him.

Central midfielder - Georginio Wijnaldum

Marco Verratti is available for this game but Mauricio Pochettino is likely to be kept fresh for the midweek clash against Real Madrid. As a result, Georginio Wijnaldum could start in midfield once again.

The former Liverpool midfielder has started both of PSG's last two matches but it's been a while since he offered much of note in any game. But owing to the circumstances, Wijnaldum is very likely to start a third consecutive game for PSG this weekend.

He has scored just one goal and provided one assist in his last 12 appearances across all competitions for the Parisians.
