Anfield prepares to welcome what could be the first of many new signings at the club.

Ligue 1: Stade Rennes 0 Marseille 2

Marseille’s title chase took another twist as the visiting French champions triumphed 2-0 at Stade Rennes in Friday’s lone Ligue 1 fixture.

Star striker Loic Remy and Argentinean midfielder Lucho Gonzalez got on the scoresheet in either half for Marseille, who remain third but close the gap between themselves and second-placed Rennes to a single point.

League leaders Lille are even on points with Renne, but will have the opportunity to open up a three-point buffer when they host Valenciennes on Sunday.

Marseille, beaten 2-1 at home by Lille last weekend, resumed their push for back-to-back league titles when Remy brought his tally to nine goals for the season in the 24th minute.

Andre Ayew picked out the French international with his cross and Remy powered a diving header beyond Rennes goalkeeper Nicolas Douchez.

Lucho had an easy finish following the good work of substitute Jordan Ayew – younger brother of Andre – in the 80th minute.

The Ghanaian striker beat his mark to a looped through ball deep in the area and pulled back his cross for Lucho to poke past Douchez.

Ligue 1 wrap: Lille, Rennes maintain top-two status

Victor Montano was on target for Rennes in a 2-0 win over Nice on Sunday, but they remain five points behind Ligue 1 leaders Lille.

Centre-forward Montano, capped once by Columbia, opened the scoring in the 52nd minute at the Stade de la Route de Lorient.

Just six minutes later and Montano’s strike partner, Togo international Razak Boukari, doubled the advantage from the penalty spot.

Defeat leaves Nice in 16th place, perilously close to the relegation zone and just two points better off than third-bottom Monaco.

Rennes remain second, but are five points behind Lille after the league leaders also won 2-0 at home to Toulouse.

Ivory Coast international Gervinho put the hosts 1-0 ahead six minutes before half-time at the Stade Lille Metropole.

It took until the final exchanges for Lille to guarantee the win, but substitute Tulio De Melo made sure with a second goal in the 90th minute.

Elsewhere, Valenciennes jumped three places to 12th with a 3-0 win over Brest.

The surprise front runners early in the campaign, Brest have now won just once in their last eight league matches and slip to 10th on the table following their latest reverse.

Goals from defenders David Ducourtioux and Milan Bisevac put the hosts two goals ahead inside 22 minutes at the Stade Nungesser.

Front-man Gregory Pujol wrapped up the scoring on 69 minutes.
