Atalanta’s Charles De Ketelaere and Napoli’s Kevin De Bruyne start for Belgium against Spain in the World Cup quarter-final, as Romelu Lukaku is only fit for the bench.
It kicks off in Los Angeles at 20.00 UK time (21.00 CEST).
The winners of this tie will go on to face tournament favourites France in the semi-final.
Belgium have several Serie A players involved and they were decisive in thumping co-hosts USA 4-1 in the last game.
De Ketelaere impressed as a False 9 with two goals, while Lukaku scored again when coming off the bench, as he is still not fully fit after missing most of Napoli’s season through injury.
The Atalanta man therefore starts upfront once more, with Lukaku ready to come on later, but the change is De Bruyne returning to the starting XI.
The competition is over for Amadou Onana, who tore the cruciate ligament in his knee and will be out of action for several months.
Youri Tielemans was in the starting XI, but pulled out during the warm-up, replaced by Hans Vanaken.
Spain are unbeaten against Belgium since the 1986 World Cup quarter-finals, which they lost in a penalty shoot-out.
They left it late to squeeze past Portugal with a last-gasp goal from Mikel Merino in the Round of 16.
Coach Luis de la Fuente sticks with almost the same starting XI, including centre-forward Mikel Oyarzabal, who has scored four goals this tournament.
Lamine Yamal hasn’t quite delivered on his promise yet at the World Cup, but he plays with Dani Olmo and Alex Baena in support.
Nico Williams returns for a spot on the bench after his injury problems, but the change is ex-Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz preferred to Pedri.
