Players to Watch
Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe is the top scorer of the tournament with five goals and is the biggest roadblock between England and their World Cup dream. He has been a rampant force on wings and his battle with Kylie Walker will be a neck-to-neck contest. Mbappe has done it for France so far in the tournament and will be hoping to continue his run.
Harry Kane
Harry Kane has been the captain on a mission for three lions in the campaign so far. Although, he didn't have luck in front of the goal in the starting matches but now has found his scoring boots back. He can be a trump card for England, especially against an untested French defence.
Team News
Raheem Sterling has returned from home and is available for selection for Southgate. Although Ben White is still absent from the squad.
France don't have any injury concerns going into this match but Tchouameni and Kunde are in danger of missing Semi-Finals if they are booked again.
