Team News: France shuffle pack as Republic of Ireland remain unchanged in last-16 clash

France shuffle pack as Republic remain unchanged

France manager Didier Deschamps has made four changes to his side as the Euro 2016 hosts take on an unchanged Republic of Ireland in their last-16 clash.

Dimitri Payet, Blaise Matuidi, N'Golo Kante and Olivier Giroud all return to the Les Bleus starting XI as they look to reach the quarter-finals in Lyon.

After starting in their goalless draw against Switzerland, Yohan Cabaye, Andre-Pierre Gignac, Moussa Sissoko and Kingsley Coman miss out.

Martin O'Neill's side, meanwhile, are unchanged from their 1-0 win over Italy, with Wes Hoolahan on the bench again and potentially playing a part later on in the game.

France: Lloris, Sagna, Rami, Koscielny, Evra, Pogba, Kante, Matuidi, Griezmann, Payet, Giroud

Republic of Ireland: Randoph, Coleman, Keogh, Duffy, Ward, McCarthy, Hendrick, Brady, McClean, Long, Murphy
