Former Gunners' trio at Marseille hopes to avoid the third loss in a row

Once a Gunner, always a Gunner. However, unlike their former side, the ex-Arsenal trio - Alexis Sanchez, Sead Kolasinac and Nuno Tavares - at Olympique Marseille suffers some tough days.

First, they were battered at home against the defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, and on Wednesday, they suffered a shock Coupe de France exit at the hands of Ligue 2 minnows Annecy.

After PSG defeat, Marseille loses again at the Velodrome

Now, on Sunday night, they travel to Rennes for another derby and can only reasonably aim for a second-place finish and a place in the Champions League next season. For the fixture against a resurgent fifth-placed Rennes, OM coach Igor Tudor won't be able to count on centre-back Samuel Gigor, who is still recovering after picking up an ankle sprain. But the Croatian manager is expected to rely on Cengiz Under, who served his one-game suspension against Annecy.
