France then sit atop the group on 13 points, Sweden are just behind them with 10. Both have a goal difference of positive seven so should the hosts win tonight they would go top. If France can avoid defeat, they will be huge favourites to finish first.

No big surprises sprung by either manager, then. N'Golo Kante is on the bench for France, who have so many attacking options that Kylian Mbappe and Alexandre Lacazette join him there. It’s Olivier Giroud who’s been given the nod up font tonight, with Antoine Griezmann playing just behind him. The Arsenal man has eight goals in his last 10 games for France, including a hat-trick versus Paraguay last time out.
