Team news
The big decision for Czeslaw Michniewicz is whether to continue with a front two of Robert Lewandowski and Arek Milik, or make use of one of the extra midfielders in the Poland squad.
Enzo Fernandes, one of the least experienced members of this Argentina squad, could be handed a start after his goal off the bench against Mexico.
Elsewhere, Nahuel Molina is in line to get the nod ahead of Gonzalo Montiel at right-back.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch World Cup 2022 football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for the World Cup 2022, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the World Cup 2022, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
