Today’s France v Ireland clash sees Didier Deschamps revert back to his strongest possible team.

After having already qualified for the knockout stages after two wins, France had a much changed front six against Switzerland last Sunday.

Moussa Sissoko was judged to be one of the few changes to have impressed, with many making him man of the match for France.

However, Deschamps recalls four of his favoured front six, with only Pogba and Griezmann surviving from the Switzerland game.

Both Moussa Sissoko and former Newcastle player, Yohan Cabaye, are relegated to the bench for this France v Ireland last 16 match.

France starting 11:

Lloris, Sagna, Rami, Koscielny, Evra, Matuidi, Kanté, Pogba, Griezmann, Payet, Giroud

Ireland starting 11:

Randolph, Coleman, Keogh, Duffy, Brady, McCarthy, Hendrick, McClean, Ward, Murphy, Long
