France v Switzerland line-ups: Teams confirmed ahead of Last 16 clash
The France v Switzerland line-ups for tonight's game in Bucharest have been announced
The France v Switzerland line-ups are out, as the tournament favourites face their near neighbours in Bucharest in the Last 16 of Euro 2020.
Didier Deschamps has made three changes to the France side which started the 2-2 draw with Portugal in the final group game. Benjamin Pavard, Clement Lenglet and Adrien Rabiot come in for Jules Kounde, Lucas Hernandez and Clorentin Tolisso, as Les Bleus switch to a back three to match up with their opponents - although Deschamps will have had his arm somewhat forced by injuries to Herdandez and fellow left-back Lucas Digne.
Vladimir Petkovic, meanwhile, has stuck with the same Swiss 11 following the 3-1 victory over Turkey in their last group match. Captain Granit Xhaka scored against France in a 5-2 group stage defeat to France at the 2014 World Cup.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
