- L'OGC Nice worked on a 4-4-2 diamond system built around Hatem Ben Arfa in pre-season, who will have a significant freedom of action behind the attacking duo of Valère Germain and Alassane Pléa.
- The former French international remains unable to play for a full 90 minutes after a long period of inactivity though, and Valentin Eysseric is likely to be involved against Monaco.
- Valère Germain has been allowed to feature against his parent club for the opening match of the season, while Niklas Hult and academy player Olivier Boscagli both compete for a starting spot to replace Jordan Amavi at left-back.
- Leonardo Jardim has a clean bill of health ahead of the shortest trip of the season to Nice.
- Aymen Abdennour and Bernardo Silva are, however, unlikely to both feature from the off following their recent return from injuries.
- Having impressed in the Champions League against Berne, Ivan Cavaleiro will experience his first Ligue 1 start for l'AS Monaco in the derby this weekend.
