Lyon have yet to concede a goal this season and last week drew 0-0 at a resilient Lorient side a week after seeing off Toulouse 3-0.

Grenoble, promoted last season after finishing third in Ligue 2, are currently Ligue 1 leaders after two wins in the first two matches, beating Rennes 1-0 last week and staging a comeback to win 2-1 at Sochaux.

Lyon have problems at full-back with Clerc out long-term, but they shouldn't find themselves on the back foot too much in this game.

However well Grenoble have started, they will find it tough to finish higher than 15th this season. With that in mind, last year Lyon had a 9-1-0 home record against sides in the bottom ten, scoring 28 goals in those nine victories.

Once again they showed their scoring prowess against the weaker sides a fortnight ago beating Toulouse 3-0.

Last year, 10 of their 14 home wins were by two or more goals and this form can continue against a Grenoble side that has been punching above their weight in the first couple of weeks.
