Game of the week: AS Monaco v Lille OSC, Saturday 16:05 (UK)
Luke: Monaco can all but seal their Europa League place when they play direct rivals Lille at the Stade Louis II on Sunday. Whether they do or not is another question. Prior to last week’s unconvincing victory against already-relegated Angers, Les Monégasques conceded seven goals without reply in consecutive defeats against Montpellier and Lens. Victory for Lille would bring them to within two points of the Europa League spot.
Elsewhere, PSG can tighten their grasp on the league title with a victory against soon-to-be-relegated Ajaccio at the Parc des Princes. In the race to keep up with Les Parisiens, Lens host Reims, whilst Marseille face Angers. Lyon and Rennes will both be looking to keep in the chase for the European places and whilst the latter shouldn’t have much difficulty against Troyes, the former face a tricky trip to Clermont.

Lens 2-1 Reims
