James DudkoSep 2, 2017

France are likely to strengthen their grip on top spot in Group A when they host Luxembourg in a qualifier for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia at the Municipal Stadium in Toulouse on Sunday.

Les Bleus were big winners last time out, beating the Netherlands 4-0 on Thursday. Thomas Lemar was one of the stars of the show, despite being embroiled in intense transfer speculation during deadline day of the English summer window.

Before a preview, here are the schedule and live-streaming details:

France were irresistible against the Netherlands, thanks largely to their young stars. Among them, Lemar scored twice, even though he was at the centre of a transfer saga involving the Premier League.

Arsenal had bid £92 million for the 21-year-old winger, per Sami Mokbel of MailOnline. Gunners manager Arsene Wenger told beIN Sports (h/t Goal's Oli Platt) how Lemar opted to stay with Ligue 1 champions AS Monaco.

Being the target of a Premier League club on the same day he was representing his country proved no distraction for Lemar. Instead, he scored twice and ran the show for France.

Lemar's now-former Monaco team-mate Kylian Mbappe also scored, on the same day he completed an expensive loan switch to Paris Saint-Germain. Still just 18, Mbappe may have played his way into a start for Les Bleus after beginning on the bench against the Netherlands.

It will be interesting to see how many changes France manager Didier Deschamps makes. He could even offer a start to Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette.

Deschamps can be confident, especially after his team won the first meeting 3-1 in Luxembourg back in March. Luxembourg manager Luc Holtz will have to hope his side isn't overrun early, otherwise France could run riot and create a huge margin of victory.

Prediction: France 5-0 Luxembourg
