AS Monaco will hope to keep within touching distance of the UEFA Champions League race when they travel to bottom-of-the-table FC Metz tonight. The team starts the weekend six points behind Olympique Lyonnais and Lille OSC, who sit in third and fourth, respectively. Paul Pogba could be provided his first start for Monaco since signing in the summer. The former FIFA World Cup winner has spent much of the season on the sidelines due to injury, with only sporadic appearances off the bench. Ansu Fati will likely drop to the bench after he started in last weekend’s 2-2 draw with Toulouse FC. The FC Barcelona loanee should be replaced by Russian international Aleksandr Golovin on the left of the attack. AS Monaco likely line-up v FC Metz: Lukas Hradecky; Wout Faes, Denis Zakaria, Thilo Kehrer; Simon Adingra, Paul Pogba, Lamine Camara, Jordan Teze; Aleksandr Golovin, Folarin Balogun, Maghnes Akliouche.
