Paris Saint-Germain-Marseille Preview: Beckham to make first start as Ligue 1 giants clash on Coupe duty

Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti will hand David Beckham a first start in PSG colours, after the ex-England captain came off the bench for a starring cameo against Olympique de Marseille on Sunday.
The 37-year-old is set to replace the suspended Marco Verratti in the middle of the park, alongside either Blaise Matuidi or Clement Chantome, as Ancelotti seeks to shuffle his pack slightly for the Coupe de France clash.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic could also be rested, in favour of Kevin Gameiro, though otherwise it is likely to be largely unchanged from the side that beat Elie Baup's men just two days ago.
For Marseille, the visitors welcome back Jordan Ayew from suspension, after the Ghana international missed Sunday's knee clash. Elder brother Andre is a doubt after picking up a knock at Parc des Princes, and could well be replaced by the younger sibling.
Jeremy Morel is also uncertain to play, leaving Marseille short at left-back, with 18-year-old Baptiste Aloe ready to step in should the former Lorient player fail to recover in time.

With Marco Verratti absent through suspension, it is likely that the 37-year-old could start from the middle, alongside Blaise Matuidi. His crisp passing and dangerous set-piece deliveries could harm Marseille, as has been the case for countless teams over the years.
| Mathieu Valbuena | |

The winger was at his brilliant best in Sunday's defeat, only for Marseille to come up against an inspired Salvatore Sirigu. The France international has raised his game this term and expect him to be at the heart of all of L'OM's attacking endeavours.
Marseille could quite easily have emerged victorious from Sunday's game, but were made to pay for their wastefulness in front of goal. They are unlikely to make the same mistake on Wednesday, but with PSG enjoying home advantage once again, this one could go right down to the wire.
