World Cup hopeful France will look to keep building its case for global domination on Monday when it takes on an Iraq already treading water in North America this summer. Didier Deschamps' men sit level with Norway at the head of Group I on three points apiece, applying all the more pressure to make it two wins from two.
Kylian Mbappe got on the score sheet twice in a 3-1 win over Senegal last time out, though Les Bleus were far from their most confident following a goalless first half. Deschamps may look to freshen his options against Iraq as a result, with Lucas Digne in contention to replace Theo Hernandez at left-back while Manu Kone could take over in midfield from Real Madrid 's Aurelien Tchouameni.

For Iraq, fans could see a change between the posts after goalkeeper and captain Jalal Hassan failed to impress in the 4-1 defeat to Norway. He's reported to have overcome a muscle strain but could be replaced by Al-Shorta stopper Ahmed Basil, nonetheless, while ex-Manchester United prospect Zidane Iqbal is in the running to start in midfield.
Pressure is building ahead of the final Group I showdown between current leaders France and Norway, which will undoubtedly decide the finishing order of the top two. However, that places a certain burden on Les Bleus to at least match Norway's goal difference in this fixture should the two teams finish level on points after three group games.
