We'll leave it there, and leave you in the capable hands of Paul Hassall with our LIVE coverage of the World Cup final.

Messi and Mbappe are tied at the summit... who will come out on top?

Properly, at least.

Paul Hassall has the latest, with our LIVE coverage here.

Didier Deschamps reverts back to his favoured line-up as Dayot Upamecano and Adrien Rabiot both return to the starting eleven.

Youssouf Fofana and Ibrahima Konate drop out, but otherwise, the French are at full strength, seemingly over that bug that hit their camp in recent days.

A brave decision from Lionel Scaloni.

Especially when considering the profile of right-back available to him.

Nahuel Molina has been excellent at this tournament, but he is suspect defensively and also is not the athletic equal to Kylian Mbappe as Kyle Walker and Achraf Hakimi have been previously.

How will Argentina therefore stop the boy wonder?

That'll be up to Angel di Maria to track back effectively, and Rodrigo de Paul to slide across from the centre of the park to trap Mbappe tight to the touchline.

Can they do it? We will see.
