Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With André-Pierre Gignac facing a one-match ban for a red card suspension, look for Saber Khalifa to earn only this third start of the 2013-14 campaign. The versatile Tunisian has 22 total appearances-mostly as a substitution-but just one goal and one assist. His opportunity to build his resume comes today.
Marseille's Projected Lineup 4-3-3: Mandanda; Fanni, N'koulou, Mendes, Morel; Payet, Romao, Ayew; Thauvin, Khalifa, Valbuena
Nice's Projected Lineup 4-2-3-1: Ospina; Kolodziejczak, Bodmer, Genevois, Palun; Abriel, Mendy; Bautheac, Brüls, Eysseric; Cvltanich
