Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how France could line up for Tuesday's World Cup 2022 qualifying clash with Finland.

France boss Didier Deschamps may be tempted into a couple of alterations for his side's final World Cup 2022 qualifying battle with Finland on Tuesday.

Les Bleus have no fresh injury or suspension concerns to work around for this battle, but Deschamps will be wary of a fired-up Finland, who are yet to assure themselves of a second-placed finish.

Hugo Lloris, Jules Kounde and Lucas Hernandez could therefore all retain their spots in defence, but Kurt Zouma will hope to be introduced over Dayot Upamecano.

Two changes in the wide areas are not beyond the realm of possibility either, with Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Digne providing alternative options to Kingsley Coman and Theo Hernandez.

N'Golo Kante's fitness woes this term should see Aurelien Tchouameni reintroduced alongside Adrien Rabiot, although Matteo Guendouzi will hope to be handed his debut for the senior team here.

Kylian Mbappe will endeavour to follow up his four-goal haul against Kazakhstan with another strong showing here, and Wissam Ben Yedder will desperately hope to be handed a start up top with nothing but pride on the line.

France possible starting lineup: Lloris; Kounde, Zouma, L. Hernandez; Pavard, Tchouameni, Rabiot, Digne; Griezmann; Mbappe, Ben Yedder
