Paris Saint-Germain have a clean bill of health ahead of Saturday's Ligue 1 encounter at home against Brest.

Christophe Galtier seems to have a settled starting lineup and is unlikely to make too many changes to his side, which has won seven and drawn one of their opening eight games in all competitions.

Shielding goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma – who has displaced Keylor Navas between the sticks – a back three of Sergio Ramos, Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe is set to remain intact.

Achraf Hakimi is expected to continue at right wing-back ahead of summer signing Nordi Mukiele, while Nuno Mendes is preferred ahead of Juan Bernat on the opposite flank.

New recruit Vitinha was a minor doubt for the midweek Champions League win over Juventus, but he managed to play 78 minutes in centre-midfield and is expected to keep his place alongside Marco Verratti.

There will presumably be no surprises in attack, with Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar all expected to operate in the front three, although Hugo Ekitike will be hoping to force his way into the starting XI for the first time since arriving from Reims over the summer.

The likes of Danilo Pereira, Renato Sanches, Fabian Ruiz, Carlos Soler and Pablo Sarabia could all occupy places on the substitutes' bench once again if Galtier opts against rotating his first XI.

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Ramos, Marquinhos, Kimpembe; Hakimi, Verratti, Vitinha, Mendes; Messi, Mbappe, Neymar
