Nice have decided to hand a start to 18-year-old striker Franck Honorat for their visit to Lorient in Ligue 1 this evening.
The promising youngster will be supported in attack by Alexy Bosetti, with midfield prowess coming from Jeremy Pied and captain Nampalys Mendy.
The hosts will be led by the trusted Jordan Ayew up front, while commanding Cameroon striker Vincent Aboubakar will also provide an attacking threat.
Captain Bruno Ecuele Manga will look to set an example in defence, as he heads a back-line made up of Pedrinho, Lamine Kone and Raphael Guerreiro.
Lorient: Lecomte; Kone, Pedrinho, Ecuele Manga, Guerreiro, Jouffre, Coutadeur, Abdullah, Pele, Aboubakar, Ayew
Nice: Hassen; Gomis, Puel, Amavi, Genevois, Eysseric, Hult, Mendym, Pied, Bosetti, Honorat
