Marseille vs Lyon live: Updates as bitter rivals go head-to-head in Ligue 1

That's the first real shot Lyon have had, and it sails miles over the bar. The ball dropped to Lepenant just inside the box, but he gets under it

The Marseille midfielder has gone down holding his face after a collision. The referee doesn't see anything wrong with the incident, and after some treatment play restarts with a drop ball

32 minutes in, and we're yet to have a shot on target. That's as much down to the poor final ball as it is the good defending

Sanchez receives a lovely reverse pass in the area and goes to ground under pressure from Malo Gusto. The former Arsenal man wants a penalty, and so do the home crowd, but the referee is motionless

At the other end, Lyon do break forward. Lacazette tries to find some space for a shot, but it's never really there and his effort hits a defender and dribbles through to the 'keeper

Marseille certainly look like they're starting to turn the screw. Lyon can't really get out of their half at the moment and they're surrendering possession far too easily

And from the resulting corner, Sanchez is there ready to prod home, only for Tagliafico to be in his way once more

Nuno Tavares whips in another terrific cross, but Sanchez can't quite stretch enough to prod home. They're really threatening down the left

Lyon break forward after Marseille waste a corner. They've got three on one. They just need to get the pass right. But Maxence Caqueret plays his pass against the only defender when trying to pick out Alexandre Lacazette. What a waste

The end product might be lacking a little bit at the moment, but this game is being played at a terrific tempo

Superb Marseille counter attack down the left hand side which results in a cross being fizzed across the box. Only a tackle from Nicolas Tagliafico denies Sanchez from tapping into an empty net. VAR look at it, and decide it's legal. Terrific tackle

They've certainly been the better of the two teams over the last five or so minutes, getting forward well and putting a few crosses into the box. None of them have been accurate enough to find a Lyon head yet, though

We've just seen the visitors burst forward for the first time, but for all their possession on the edge of the area, they've can't pick a way through a tight Marseille defence

Granted, we've only had three minutes, but Marseille have started the better of the two sides. Alexis Sanchez receives the ball 25-yards out, turns and thumps goalwards, but it clatters away to safety off a defender

Right, we're underway as Lyon get things underway to a chorus of boos from the home fans

There's a superb atmosphere at the Stade Velodrome, as you'd expect, given the rivalry between the two teams. It's not a sell out though, after Marseille's defeat to Spurs in midweek

PSG scraped to a 2-1 win in Lorient earlier today, while there was a good win for Monaco at Toulouse. That means Marseille currently sit sixth, three points off the top four, whereas Lyon are down in eighth, four points behind tonight's opponents

We'll ne getting underway in less than five minutes at the Stade Velodrome. Here's a reminder of the two teams

Aston Villa registered their first home league win over Manchester United since the 1990s today! Catch up on their explosive start under new manager Unai Emery here

Lyon certainly enjoy playing Marseille - they've only lost one of the last 15 league meetings between the two sides, picking up seven wins and seven draws in the process. Karl Toko Ekambi netted the final goal in a 3-0 victory when the two teams last met in May

The pressure is certainly on new boss Igor Tudor, who only took charge in the summer. He's won eight of his 18 games in charge so far
