Tonight, OM hosts Liverpool as part of the 7th matchday of the Champions League group stage. For this high-stakes clash, Roberto De Zerbi is without Aguerd, who will soon return after the end of AFCON, and Emerson, who is sidelined with an injury. The Marseille coach lines up a defense featuring Murillo, Pavard, Balerdi, and Medina. Up front, Aubameyang starts on the bench, while Traoré earns his third consecutive start.

On the other side, Arne Slot fields Mohamed Salah alongside Szoboszlai, Wirtz, and Ekitike in attack.

Here are the starting lineups for both teams:

Marseille: Rulli - Murillo, Pavard, Balerdi (c), Medina - Højbjerg, Kondogbia - Weah, Greenwood, Traoré - Gouiri.

Liverpool: Alisson - Frimpong, Gomez, Van Dijk (c), Kerkez - Gravenberch, Mac Allister - Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz - Ekitike.
