What is at stake for France and Iraq?

France will be looking to continue their perfect start to the World Cup, with Didier Deschamps's side viewed as one of the favourites to lift the trophy.

Les Bleus beat Senegal 3-1 on Tuesday, with Kylian Mbappe bagging a brace and Bradley Barcola also finding the back of the net.

Irag, meanwhile, lost 4-1 to Norway on Tuesday and need to get a result against France to keep their hopes of reaching the knockouts alive.

Manager Graham Arnold was happy with his side's display for the first 70 minutes, before a series of individual mistakes allowed Norway to widen the gap from 2-1 to 4-1 and they will be keen to cut that out against France.
