Two high-flying Ligue 1 outfits will seek to get back on track after recent defeats this weekend, as Monaco do battle with Brest at the Stade Louis II.
Adi Hutter's men were bested 2-0 by Lille in their last top-flight outing, while Les Pirates' efforts against Paris Saint-Germain were in vain as they slumped to a 3-2 defeat.
Marseille, Reims and Metz had all bowed to Monaco's superiority either side of the October international break, but a pair of Zhegrova deliveries were on the money for Ivan Cavaleiro and Bafode Diakite to finish past Monegasques number one Philipp Kohn.
By virtue of their second defeat of the Ligue 1 season - their first came at home to surprise leaders Nice on September 22 - Monaco were denied the opportunity to enter gameweek 11 at the top of the rankings, slipping to third place behind Les Aiglons and Paris Saint-Germain.
Nevertheless, with 20 points to show from his opening 10 games in the French top flight, Hutter boasts Monaco's best managerial record at this stage of his career since 2013, when Claudio Ranieri collected 22 points from his first 30 on offer en route to a second-placed finish.
