France start Serie A players Mike Maignan and Manu Koné, but Norway surprisingly rotate their squad for this clash at the top of their World Cup group, while Senegal face Iraq.

They both kick off at 20.00 UK time (21.00 CEST) and conclude Group I.

Going into the final game, both France and Norway have six points and have practically booked their place in the next phase, so this is a head-to-head for top spot.

Senegal are confident they can qualify as one of the best third-placed teams if they manage to get three points against Iraq.

Norway have surprisingly opted to rotate their starting XI, leaving the likes of Erling Haaland on the bench to begin with.

Genoa defender Leo Ostigard and Sassuolo’s Kristjan Thorstvedt get their chance.

Roma midfielder Kone gets his second consecutive start for France, along with Milan goalkeeper Maignan, but Adrien Rabiot is rested.

Les Bleus asked to wear black armbands, as coach Didier Deschamps has returned to France following the sad death of his mother, but it’s reported that FIFA refused the request.

In the other match, Senegal include Como winger Assane Diao.
