Preview: Nantes vs. AS Monaco

AS Monaco will be looking to put pressure on Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain when they travel to Nantes on Sunday.

Claudio Ranieri's side currently sit third in the table, four points adrift of PSG.

Monaco missed the opportunity to close the gap at the top before the international break when they were held to a draw by Evian TG.

Nantes could move ahead of the visitors in the table if they secure victory. Les Canaris, who have lost just one of their last seven matches, cruised to a 3-0 success over Bordeaux two weeks ago.

Ranieri could name the same Monaco side that drew with Evian, although Mounir Obbadi and Geoffrey Kondogbia are pushing for starts.

Nantes manager Michel Der Zakarian has no new injury concerns and could be tempted to name the same XI that saw off Bordeaux.
