WORLD CUP 2018 - Semi Final - France v Belgium - 10th July, 19:00 - Live on BBC

France's Blaise Matuidi is available after a ban and is set to return in place of fellow midfielder Corentin Tolisso, who deputised against Uruguay.

Striker Olivier Giroud will keep his starting spot despite not registering a shot on target at this World Cup.

Right wing-back Thomas Meunier is suspended for Belgium, so a defensive reshuffle will be required.

Head coach Roberto Martinez changed tactics against Brazil, abandoning his favoured 3-4-2-1 formation.

Centre-forward Romelu Lukaku spent much of that game on the right flank, with midfielder Kevin de Bruyne at times operating as a false nine.

It remains to be seen whether Martinez repeats that ploy against the French.

fancy belgium tonite 1-3

As I backed both of these to win the tournament and I stand to win a similar amount on each I just hope football is the winner tonight

My meagre bets.

Backed Pogba to score with a scissors kick from within his own half.

What's the point of that last one?

Fancying Belgium through with Hazard to bag tbh. I reckon England would prefer France too, just.
