France v England - Friendly

Gareth Southgate and Didier Descamps look set to ring the changes when England travel to France for this International Friendly.

Both sides endured difficult weekend's as England blew a 1-0 lead with just moments left in the match to draw 2-2 with Scotland, and France conceeded a late goal to lose 2-1 in Sweden and weaken their position in qualifying.

This match therefore takes on increased importance for both managers in terms of looking at their squads, their options and the systems they can experiment with.

The French look likely to give Kylian Mbappe another go, and the Monaco wizzkid is certainly someone that Southgate would love in his squad. Others who might be involved include Ousmane Dembele and Thomas Lemar, and both are players who we will see plenty more if in years to come.

The French squad looks deeper in almost every position than England, and on home soil we are prepared to trust them to get the job done at a shade of odds on. England are testing themselves agianst European Championship finalists, and it would be unrealistic to expect too much in this one. France are accustomed to taking these sort of events seriously after preparing for Euro 2016 with wins at home against Serbia, Armenia, Germany, Russia, Cameroon and Scotland, before going on to beat Romania, Albania, Ireland, Iceland and Germany onroute the final. In two years at home, only Portugal and Spain have prevented France winning inside 90 minutes, and Paddy Powers 19/20 on another win for Les Bleu's should be added to our weekly bets.

France to beat England at 19/20
