Belgium also make one change to their team as Thomas Meunier serves a suspension. Dembele comes in as a result and Martinez is keeping everyone guessing right up until kick-off as it is not clear whether he will play with four or three at the back – or who will play at wing-back if it is the latter.
France make one change to the side that defeated Uruguay, restoring Matuidi to the starting line-up after he returns from suspension. Tolisso drops to the bench as a result, while Mbappe could be the key up against a Belgium defence who have looked vulnerable on the counter-attack.
