Didier Deschamps will be expected to make some rotations, and give a chance to some of the younger players, whereas for Tunisia it's a must-win game. It remains to be seen whether Kylian Mbappe will play in onight's fixture, having scored 3 goals already, he's leading the race for the golden boot alongside England's Marcus Rashford.

Or will Tunisia become the giant killers and find a way past the French challenge?
