De Zerbi only used Igor Paixão off the bench in Saturday’s emphatic win, and the Brazilian is a sure bet to come back into the starting lineup, given his form in Europe this term. The former Feyenoord winger is Marseille’s leading scorer in the league phase with four goals. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, meanwhile, has seven goal contributions.
