Team News: Helder Costa, Guido Carrillo lead AS Monaco line at Marseille

AS Monaco have opted for a front partnership of Helder Costa and Guido Carrillo up top as they travel to face hosts Marseille in Ligue 1 this evening.

The visitors are to deploy a 4-4-2 formation that makes use of the youthful creativity of Almamy Toure in the centre of the park, who is to work alongside the industrious Tiemoue Bakayoko.

As for the hosts, Míchel has decided to stick with the in-form Michy Batshuayi in attack, as the Belgian youngster spearheads Marseille's forward line on his own.

Les Phoceens seem keen to continue with the development of rising midfielder Georges-Kevin N'Koudou, while Romain Alessandrini continues with his role at the heart of the home side's creative department.
