France and Poland clash on Sunday in last 16 of the World Cup in Qatar, with both teams coming off lacklustre performances in their final group stage matches. Les Bleus’ Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann will try to sustain energy they brought to the end of a close loss to Tunisia, while Poland will need to find more support for striker Robert Lewandowski after being dominated by Argentina. Follow our liveblog below for updates and commentary throughout the match.
• France manager Didier Deschamps fielded a largely second-choice side against Tunisia, only bringing in forwards Mbappé, Griezmann and Ousmane Dembélé and defender Adrien Rabiot towards the end of the match. The best of Les Bleus are expected back for the start of today’s test.
• Poland’s attack was weak against Argentina, but goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny shined, including when he stopped a penalty from Lionel Messi. French keeper Hugo Lloris said that Poland is a team “that takes great pleasure in defending well”.
• The match starts at 4pm Paris time (GMT+1).
