REF’s picks

AS Monaco arrive in strong league form at the summit of the table and possess the attacking quality to break down a resilient Lorient side. Even with several potential absentees like Zakaria and Golovin, their depth through players like Ansu Fati should prove decisive away from home.

1. 1Monaco sit top of the standings with an impressive start to the campaign.
2. 2Lorient are tough to beat at home, having shown strong defensive resilience recently.
3. 3Monaco's extensive injury list could disrupt their usual rhythm and fluidity.
