France ‘to name unchanged XI’ with Mbappe and Giroud leading line in England World Cup quarter-final clash
FRANCE are reportedly set to name an unchanged side when they play England tomorrow.
Didier Deschamps’ defending champions are looking to book their place in the World Cup semis.
But standing between France and the last four are Gareth Southgate’s hopefuls.
England have plenty of options at their disposal and look dangerous in all areas of the pitch.
It remains to be seen if Southgate makes any changes to his side, with a potential formation switch also in his thoughts.
However, France are not taking any chances when it comes to their own XI.
And L’Equipe claims Deschamps has decided to stick with the exact same team that beat Poland 3-1 in the last-16.
That means Hugo Lloris will line up in goal, with Raphael Varane and Dayot Upamecano as centre-backs.
Jules Kounde and Theo Hernandez will patrol the defensive flanks.
And they’ll be supported by a dynamic midfield duo of Aurelien Tchouameni and Adrien Rabiot.
HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP
Up top, Antoine Griezmann will help out Olivier Giroud in the penalty area.
And danger men Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele will be looking to cause havoc out wide.
France will then be able to rely on the likes of Marcus Thuram, Kingsley Coman and Matteo Guendouzi to help out from the bench.
But whatever Deschamps’ final decision may be, the French will surely prove to be tricky customers for Harry Kane and Co.
