Norway and France prepare to meet in Boston with top spot in Group I on the line and both sides already safely through to the knockout stages after winning their opening two games.
Les Bleus are ahead of the Scandinavians on goal difference in Group I, with Senegal and Iraq having been beaten by both teams in action here.
Coaches Guy Stephan - taking charge of Les Bleus with Didier Deschamps on compassionate leave - and Stale Solbakken can afford to make changes galore, though four-goal gems Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland will not want to be benched given the form that they are in.

Norway v France Prediction
Best Bet: Norway - Draw No Bet @ 5/2
Norway brought impressive form into these World Cup finals and have carried on in good shape with a 4-1 win over Iraq and 3-2 defeat of Senegal.
Now comes the ultimate test against the equally free-scoring French side who are tipped by many to go all the way.
It would be odd if there weren't changes to be made to both teams with qualification nailed down, but equally good players are in a rhythm and top spot is up for grabs.
But this was all about qualification and France may not always be at their most urgent when the stakes aren't quite so high.
Norway, with four-goal Manchester City striker Erling Haaland a massive handful, if picked, could be the value bet to avoid defeat in Boston.
Alternative Bet: Over 9 corners @ 1/1
France have won 10 corners across their first two games at the World Cup finals, while Norway have done likewise.
Lower stakes with both qualified may equal lower intensity, though there is a good chance, given the forward power in both ranks, that this game could open up.
And if it does, then these two can sail past the 10-corner mark.
Norway v France Bet Builder Tip
Both teams to score
Under 3 cards
Oscar Bobb 1+ shots on target
Rayan Cherki 1+ shots on target
Pays 13/2
Both teams have scored in eight of Norway's last nine internationals and that should happen once more here.
These teams are full of goals so make both to score the first leg of your Foxborough Bet Builder.
For leg two go under four cards. These good boys have not picked up a yellow between them so far and there is every reason to believe that bonhomie continues for another 90 minutes.
Fulham forward Oscar Bobb has had a couple of run-out off the bench for Norway and should get a lot more minutes here. He's had one effort on target so far and can notch another.
Equally, Rayan Cherki can get more minutes for Les Bleus and can hit the target, too.
