  • PRVW
    National anthem play for both teams!!! Almost time for kick off!!!
  • PRVW
    Less than 10 minutes to go, who's readyyyyy???
  • PRVW
    France have confirmed their lineup!!!!!!!!!
  • PRVW
    And now we wait for the visitors to confirm theirs...
  • PRVW
    Here's how Italy line up (3-5-1-1): Vicario (GK); Di Lorenzo, Buongiorno, Bastoni; Cambiaso, Barella, Locatelli, Tonali, Dimarco; Frattesi; Retegui.
  • PRVW
    Italy have dropped their starting elevennnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!
  • PRVW
    Here's how France could line up (4-2-3-1): Maignan (GK); Kounde, Konate, Saliba, Digne; Kone, Rabiot; Olise, Nkunku, Coman; Thuram.
  • PRVW
    Here's how Italy could line up (3-5-1-1): Donnarumma (GK); Di Lorenzo, Buongiorno, Bastoni; Cambiaso, Barella,Locatelli, Tonali, Dimarco; Maldini; Retegui.
  • PRVW
    With that all settled, let's have a look at the possible lineups!!!
  • PRVW
    Unbeaten-Italy, on the other hand, count no absences as Luciano Spalletti will aim to keep his record in this final group-stage clash.
  • PRVW
    Camavinga is also ruled out due to suspension.
  • PRVW
    Italy captain Donnarumma also commented on his former PSG teammate. "It's a big absence, I know him and he's one of the best players of the world," he said. "If he was there he would have caused us problems but they have other players and a lot of quality... They have a lot of good players who can cause us problems and have a lot of energy."
  • PRVW
    On the Real Madrid striker's absence, Deschamps gave a very vague response, which only serves to intensify speculation. “I told you what I told you. You are free to interpret that," the head coach said. "There are 23 players here. Kylian isn’t here – leave him alone," said the head coach.
  • PRVW
    France are missing many key players for tonight's game. Ousmane Dembele and Wesley Fofana both pulled out of the team earlier this week due to fitness concerns. Claus, Mendy and Theo Hernandez are all out due to injuries. Meanwhile, the biggest absence remains that of captain Kylian Mbappe, who has not been called up by France boss Didier Deschamps.
  • PRVW
    Before we go ahead and look at the possible lineups, let's see the list of unavailable players/doubts...
  • PRVW
    Last time round, Italy beat France 3-1 at the Parc des Princes. Will it be the same tonight? Who's claiming victory at the San Siro?
  • PRVW
    Should France beat Italy by more than 3 goals to spare, 'Les Blues' would claim first place, but any other scenario would see the 'Azzurri' cement top-spot.
  • PRVW
    So, both Italy and France are guaranteed to make it through the quarter-finals regardless of the scoreline tonight and in other matches. However, top-spot is not sealed just yet...
  • PRVW
    We are in the final matchday of Nations League group-stage games and here's how things stand in League A - Group A2: Italy lead with 13 points, France follow with 10 points, Belgium only sit third with 4 points and winless-Israel sit bottom with just 1 point.

    Hello everyone and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the matchday 6 Nations League showdown between Italy and France, kick off at 20:45 at San Siro, Italy.
