Martinez also made one change as Moussa Dembele will get his first start of the tournament as Thomas Meunier is suspended for this game.

Deschamps has maintained his winning formula. He has just restored Blaise Matuidi in midfield, after serving a one-match ban, instead of Tolisso who played the last game.

It will be only the second semi-final appearance for Belgium, but for France it is a sixth.

Belgium have scored 14 goals in five matches and were hugely impressive in their 2-1 quarter-final victory over Brazil, with Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne combining to devastating effect to oust the five-times world champions.

Roberto Martinez's swashbuckling Belgium side head into Tuesday's semi-final with familiar foes France as the World Cup's leading scorers, but their old rivals have evolved as the tournament has progressed and will also be full of confidence.
