Portugal vs France kicks off at 8pm - and both Didier Deschamps and Fernando Santos have shuffled their pack for their final Euro 2020 group game. 

Bruno Fernandes is replaced in the starting line-up as Portugal opt instead for Euros maestro Renato Sanches. Joao Moutinho also gets his first start of the tournament to add more experience to the midfield - the central midfield was involved when Portugal last played France in the Euros, the 2016 final.

Portugal need at least a draw to reach the knockout stages, but France maintain ambitions of winning the group, so won't let off. Portugal currently sit third in the group, while France are first. Group F could all change by the end of the evening though, and England face second place in the knockout stages next week at Wembley.
