Lyon will be looking to secure only their second victory over five games when they take on Grenoble in their next Ligue 1 encounter on Saturday.
Claude Puel's side lost a great chance to climb to the top of the Ligue 1 table as they were held to a thrilling 5-5 draw by Marseille in their last match. Marseille twice came back from a goal down to equalize in the first half and looked to have won the game after goals from Bakari Kone and Brandao had given them a 4-2 lead with just 11 minutes remaining.
However two goals in space of three minutes from Lisandro Lopez restored parity before Michel Bastos gave Lyon the lead in the final minute of the game. But there were some late dramatics as an own goal from Jeremy Toulalan meant that Marseille went home with a point from the game.
Puel will be hoping for a repeat of last season’s performance that saw Lyon complete a double over Grenoble including a 2-0 win in this fixture.
Toulalan should be available for selection after the midfielder missed France’s qualifier against Republic of Ireland due to a muscle injury.
