Up front, Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku, who helped himself to a brace against Panama, is joined by Eden Hazard and Dries Mertens, who completed the scoring.

For Tunisia, Farouk Ben Mustapha replaces Mouez Hassen in goal after the 2-1 defeat to England, while Saif-Eddine Khaoui comes in for Naim Sliti in the only other switch made by coach Nabil Maaloul.

Dylan Bronn and Ali Maaloul continue at the back, while Ferjani Sassi, who netted the penalty against the Three Lions earlier in the week, is chosen again in midfield.
