Marcos Acuna and Gonzalo Montiel missed out the last match but are now available to get the starting nod. However, Nahuel Molina has been brilliant on the right and he could keep Montiel out. Acuna, on the other hand, could well replace Nicolas Tagliafico. 

There are few concerns over the fitness of Angel Di Maria and he is racing against time to be fit enough for this clash.

It remains to be seen if Rabiot and Upamecano are able to recover before this summit clash. 

France Predicted Starting XI: Lloris; Kounde, Varane, Upamecano, T. Hernandez; Tchouameni, Rabiot; Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe; Giroud
