Marseille will go top of the Ligue 1 table if they manage to win at home to Nice on Sunday.

Nice have lost on each of their last five visits to the Stade Velodrome.

The hosts will be without suspended midfielder Joey Barton, who scored direct from a corner kick during Thursday's 2-2 draw against Borussia Monchengladbach in the Europa League.

In-form striker Jordan Ayew is expected to lead the line for Marseille, after scoring two goals in his last two appearances.

Possible lineups:

Marseille: Mandanda, N'koulou, Morel, Cheyrou, A Ayew, Amalfitano, Kabore, Valbuena, Remy, Abdallah, J Ayew

Nice: Ospina, Civelli, Kolodzieczak, Gomis, Genevois, Digard, Traore, Meriem, Bautheac, Eysseric, Cvitanich

Sports Mole says: 2-0
