A close-looking Round of 32 contest pits Group G winners Belgium against Group I’s third-placed Senegal.

Kick-off in Seattle is at 21:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Both sides thrashed their most recent opponents and, unsurprisingly, Belgium are unchanged from the XI that beat New Zealand 5-1.

Starts for the likes of Kevin De Bruyne ($7.5m), Maxim De Cuyper ($4.7m), Charles De Ketelaere ($5.6m), Jeremy Doku ($7.5m) and Leandro Trossard ($6.6m).

As for Senegal, there are three alterations. Abdoulaye Seck ($3.8m), Lamine Camara ($6.2m) and Ibrahim Mbaye ($4.4m) began the 5-0 versus Iraq, but this time it’ll be Iliman Ndiaye ($6.5m), Pape Gueye ($5.9m) and Pathe Ciss ($5.6m).

      They are both people... Neither outstanding as an FPL asset but I hear that Connor speaks Spanish reasonably well.
