Eric Ti Bi replaces Christian Poulsen in Evian TG's midfield in an otherwise unchanged lineup from Pablo Correa.
There is no place for Nolan Roux in attack as Dimitri Payet and Tulio De Melo lead the line for reigning champions Lille.
Joe Cole also misses out, with Eden Hazard, Benoit Pedretti, Antonio Mavuba and Florent Balmont forming a four-man midfield.
Evian: Andersen, Mongongu, Cambon, Djadjedje, Tie Bi, Kahlenberg, Barbosa, Wass, Sorlin, Berigaud, Khalifa
Lille: Landreau, Digne, Beria, Debuchy, Balmont, Payet, Hazard, Pedretti, Chedjou, Mavuba, De Melo
