What a mouth-watering clash we have coming up at Stade de France, where the reigning World champions face the defending European and Nations League champions.
FRANCE (4-3-3): Hugo Lloris (captain); Benjamin Pavard, Raphael Varane, Presnel Kimpembe, Lucas Hernadnez; Adrien Rabiot, N'Golo Kante, Paul Pogba; Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann, Kylian Mbappe.
SUBS: Steve Mandanda, Kingsley Coman, Dayot Upamecano, Lucas Digne, Anthony Martial, Corentin Tolisso, Steven N'Zonzi, Clement Lenglet, Wissam Ben Yedder, Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy, Mike Maignan.
PORTUGAL (4-2-3-1): Rui Patricio; Nelson Semedo, Ruben Dias, Pepe, Raphael Guerreiro; William Carvalho, Danilo Pereira; Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Felix; Cristiano Ronaldo (captain).
SUBS: Bruno Varela, Joao Cancelo, Ruben Semedo, Rafa Silva, Andre Silva, Francisco Trincao, Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, Renato Sanches, Daniel Podence, Diogo Jota, Rui Silva.
As expected, Didier Deschamps has made wholesale changes for France - nine in all from the side that began the 7-1 win over Ukraine on Wednesday. Olivier Giroud and Benjamin Pavard are the only survivors, while there are recalls for the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Paul Pogba and Raphael Varane.
Meanwhile, Fernando Santos makes seven changes to the Portugal side that began their goalless draw with Spain earlier this week. Notably, Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes and Joao Felix all return to provide support for skipper Cristiano Ronaldo.

The top two in Group A3 do battle for the right to lead the way come the end of proceedings. Both sides come into the game with two wins from two; at least one of those perfect records will go today.
