Olivier Giroud leads the line for France, forming an attacking trident with skipper Kylian Mbappe and Randal Kolo Muani. Eduardo Camavinga comes into the midfield.

New captain Mbappe was in fine fettle against the Dutch and will again look to impress alongside Antoine Griezmann.

The Atletico Madrid forward was said to have been disappointed he was not handed the armband by Didier Deschamps but remains a hugely important figure in the French set-up.

Predicted Republic of Ireland XI: Bazunu; Coleman; Egan, Collins, O’Shea; Doherty, Cullen, Molumby, Knight; Ferguson, Obafemi

Predicted France XI: Maignan; Pavard, Konate, Upamecano, T. Hernandez; Camavinga, Rabiot; Griezmann, Giroud, Mbappe; Kolo Muani
