Confirmed Canada v Morocco World Cup Team News

Co-hosts Canada will be desperate to keep their World Cup hopes alive when they face Morocco for a spot in the quarter-finals in around an hour's time.

Jesse Marsch's side have inspired a nation with their deepest ever run at FIFA's showpiece, but will face their sternest test to date when they lock-horns with African heavyweights Morocco, who famously reached the semi-finals in Qatar four years ago.

Canada saw off South Africa thanks to a late moment of magic from Stephen Eustaquio in their last 32 showdown, whilst Morocco claimed the scalp of the Netherlands by virtue of a tense and dramatic penalty shootout.

Now, both managers, Marsch and Mohamed Ouahbi, have made alterations to their starting line-ups from the sides that took to the fields last time out as they plot a route to victory in Houston, Texas, this evening.

Former Leeds boss Marsch has made three changes with De Fougerolles, Sigur and Ahmed all returning at the expense of Cornelius, Saliba and Millar.

For Morocco, Halhal replaces Riad in defence as the African's make a solitary change from the side that saw off the Netherlands.

Canada XI

Crepeau; Johnston, Bombito, De Fougerolles, Laryea; Buchanan, Sigur, Eustaquio, Ahmed; David, Oluwaseyi

Morocco XI

Bono; Hakimi, Diop, Halhal, Mazraoui; Bouaddi, El Aynaoui; Diaz, Ounahi, El Khannous; Saibari
