Arsenal teammates William Saliba and Viktor Gyokeres will go up against each other tonight. Elsewhere, LFC clubmates Ibrahima Konate and Alexander Isak will be going against each other as well.
The team that triumphs in the match between France and Sweden will go on to compete against Paraguay in the round of 16, following their impressive victory over Germany in the round of 32, which was decided by an exhilarating shootout.
“Sweden are not playing for their survival. Obviously, they will do everything to win the game, but they have nothing to lose,” Deschamps told reporters on Monday.
“We need to stay humble, maintain our determination and concentration. In the group stage, winning the first game gave us some margin for error, but now we have no second chances.”
