Olympique Lyonnais are searching for their 12th consecutive victory across all competitions as they travel north to the Stade de la Beaujoire to face FC Nantes. A point would be enough to put Lyon provisionally above their rivals, Olympique de Marseille, in third, ahead of Marseille’s match on Sunday against Paris Saint-Germain.
Tyler Morton returned to the lineup for Lyon’s 2-0 win over Stade Lavallois in the Coupe de France after he missed the league outing against Lille OSC. The former Liverpool man should start tonight. Noah Nartey scored on his debut against Lille and started against Laval, but will likely be rested tonight. Khalis Merah will likely keep his place in the side after he started in the cup.
