Luxembourg vs. France: World Cup 2018 Qualifying Live Stream and Preview

France will look to consolidate their position atop 2018 FIFA World Cup Group A on Saturday when they face Luxembourg at the Stade Josy Barthel in Luxembourg City.

Les Bleus are top of the group with 10 points after four matches, while Luxembourg have just one point courtesy of a 1-1 draw with Belarus.

France are unbeaten in the six matches they've played since losing to Portugal in the UEFA Euro 2016 final, including a 3-1 friendly victory against Italy and qualifying wins over the Netherlands and Sweden.

Didier Deschamps' side are three points ahead of the pair, and with only one automatic qualification place up for grabs per group—and one play-off place in each for the eight best runners-up—it's imperative they continue to get points on the board, as one of the three sides will miss out entirely.

Luxembourg shouldn't pose much difficulty for France—their only win since November 2015 was awarded to them by FIFA after Albania fielded an ineligible player to beat them 2-0 in a friendly last year—so they should be using the match as a way to bolster their goal difference.

Per the national side's official Twitter account, Deschamps has selected a great deal of attacking power to help France take on Luxembourg and then Spain in a friendly on Tuesday in Paris:

Almost any side in world football would be content with such an array of goalscoring talent, though one striker is conspicuous by his absence—Alexandre Lacazette.

The Lyon forward has struck an incredible 29 goals in all competitions this term, including 23 in 24 Ligue 1 appearances.

French football experts Andrew Gibney and Julien Laurens discussed his snub:

One eye-catching selection is AS Monaco starlet Kylian Mbappe, who has had a sensational campaign in his own right, per football writer Philippe Auclair:

The 18-year-old has also provided 11 assists for his team-mates in that time and is fully deserving of his first call-up to the senior side.

Per the Mirror's Liam Prenderville, Deschamps hinted he could make his debut on Saturday:

"

Kylian is putting in some great performances at the moment. There is no reason why he could not start. The fact that it is his first time with the national team does not mean he cannot start. But we should not move too fast.

That I called him up does mean that he will play at some point, though. All the players who I called up should have the ambition to start.

"

Despite the Spain match being a friendly, it is perhaps more likely that Mbappe will feature against Luxembourg, particularly if he is rewarded with a start.

The forward may be the youngster on the team, but he's been terrorising defences in both Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League this season, so there's little to suggest he won't be able to thrive on the international stage, too, especially against a side ranked 135th in the world by FIFA.
