France are looking to become only the third team in history to win back-to-back World Cups but are coming up against an Argentina side determined to win the trophy for Lionel Messi in what is likely to be his last-ever appearance at a World Cup.

Kick off is at 3pm at the Lusail Stadium on Sunday in Doha.
