France are certainly one of the tournament favourites, with a team packed full of talent including Mbappe, Giroud and Real Madrid’s Camavinga. Australia are far less fancied, with a much more modest squad. But, as it has already been shown today, anything can happen in the World Cup.

France vs Australia kicks off at 7:00pm UK time on Tuesday, November 22.
