The line-ups for the France vs Germany Euro 2020 group game have been revealed - and both Karim Benzema and Thomas Muller start for their respective nations. 

France, the reigning world champions, start with a back-four, with Paul Pogba and N'golo Kante - the midfielders who powered Les Bleus to glory in Russia three years ago - just in font, alongside Adrien Rabiot. 

Meanwhile, Jogi Low, who embarks on his final tournament in charge of Die Mannschaft, has opted for his tried and tested back three. A front three, meanwhile, of Serge Gnabry, Kai Havertz and Thomas Muller should cause plenty of headaches going forward.
