Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon have named their starting teams for their meeting at the Parc des Prince in Ligue 1 on Monday.
The game was postponed from Sunday because police were expecting protests against increasing fuel prices, education standards and the cost of living over the weekend.
PSG are on a seven-match winning run in all competitions following their 4-2 home win over Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Fourth-placed Lyon are above them on goal difference, winning 2-1 at home to Nice in their last top-flight game eight days ago but losing 3-0 at Hoffenheim in the Europa League four days later.
