What happened. Lille are predicted to start Ayase Ueda ahead of Olivier Giroud for Sunday's trip to OGC Nice. The club head to the South of France close to full strength, with Tanguy Nianzou still dealing with an issue.

• Lille travel to face Nice on Sunday afternoon
• Ueda is tipped to replace Giroud in the starting XI
• Nianzou remains the notable fitness concern

Lille's team selection at Nice will show whether the Ueda-Giroud switch is a one-off or a lasting change.
