Two teams flying high at the top of Ligue 1 lock horns at the Stade Auguste-Delaune on Saturday when Reims play host to Monaco.
Just one point separates these two clubs after seven matches, with Will Still's side in third place sitting marginally behind Adi Hutter's men at the summit.
Lyon failed to convert a number of decent chances in the first half before a brilliant diving header from Marshall Munetsi opened the scoring for Reims on the stroke of half time, and the hosts eventually secured all three points courtesy of another header, this time from captain Yunis Abdelhamid midway through the second half.
Les rouges et blancs have now accumulated 13 points from their opening seven games, their highest tally at this stage of a Ligue 1 campaign since the 1974-75 season, and they can climb to the top of the table with victory over Monaco this weekend.
