Soft-hearted Enrique forgives Dembele

The defeat in the Champions League against Arsenal, Luis Enrique's quarrel with the media, and the decision to temporarily cross out Ousmane Dembele cast a shadow on the Saints' good start to the season. Still, despite not being known as a "tolerant guy," PSG boss decided to give another chance to the French winger and include him in the squad for tonight's duel against Nice. Moreover, the 27-year-old will probably start and be in charge of goals alongside Randal Kolo Muani and Bradley Barcola.

Despite his poor display against the Gunners, Gianluigi Donnarumma will once again take his spot between the posts after returning from the injury break. Conversely, Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, and Goncalo Ramos won't be at the Spanish strategist's disposal.

Enrique fuming after Arsenal slap PSG in the face

The eventual victory would get PSG back in Ligue 1 top spot, which the fantastic Monaco currently occupies. Nice noted only two triumphs in six rounds - against Angers 4-1 and Saint-Etienne 8-0 and are far from excellent form. Their manager, Franck Haise, won't be able to count on the Nigerian Terem Moffi, Gaetan Laborde, Melvin Bard, and Morgan Sanson while Tanguy Ndombele returns to the team. Last season, the Saints recorded a double win over Nice - 3-1 in Paris and 2-1 at Allianz Riviera.
