France vs England – Predicted lineup and team news


France face England at Miami Stadium on Saturday evening in the World Cup third-place play-off, Didier Deschamps' final match as manager after 14 years in charge.

Deschamps announced before the tournament that this World Cup would be his last as France manager. The 2–0 defeat to Spain was not the ending he wanted. A win here at least delivers a bronze medal — France's third consecutive World Cup podium finish — and the chance to send Deschamps out with a victory. Kylian Mbappe arrives level on eight goals with Messi in the Golden Boot standings, trailing on the assists tiebreaker by one. Every goal here matters.
