Monaco have decided to put their faith in young striker Anthony Martial as they visit Metz in Ligue 1 this evening.

The lone forward is to be supported by a five-man midfield, which includes the attacking talents of Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco and Bernardo Silva.

Tonight's hosts are to feature a similar 4-5-1 formation that sees Juan Falcon operating as a solitary striker, with Florent Malouda and Guirane N'Daw looking to provide some creative presence from midfield.

Sylvain Marchal will lead his side from the back alongside centre-back partner Jeremy Choplin.

Metz: Mfa; Rivierez, Marchal, Choplin, Palomino, Doukoure, Malouda, Kashi, Ngbakoto, N'Daw, Falcon

Monaco: Subasic; Fabinho, Abdennour, Raggi, Dirar, Moutinho, Bakayoko, Silva, Ferreira-Carrasco, Toulalan, Martial
