Group D leaders France will look to get back to winning ways after an uneventful draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina in the last game. The Les Bleus take on Ukraine in Kiev with the hosts four points shy of them in the points table. For World Champions France,  it looks like they are yet to shake off their horror showing at the Euros and its time manager Didier Deschamps fixes the problem in this highly talented squad. Opponents Ukraine have a temporary manager in Oleksandr Petrakov and his reign did not get to the best of starts as they were held to a 2-2 draw with Kazakhstan. The home side will be upbeat though for the visit of the world champions. Hungary 0–4 England, FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualifiers: Three Lions Secure Comfortable Win.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is suspended for Ukraine after picking up a caution in the previous game. Roman Yarmechuk will lead the attacking line for hosts with Ruslan Malinovskyi and Andriy Yarmolenko slotting in behind him as the attacking midfielders. Serhiy Sydorchuk has an important role to play as a sweeper in a 3-4-2-1 formation where his primary task will be to keep an eye on the movement of Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann.

Jules Kounde was shown a red card for his tackle on Sead Kolasinac and the young defender is now out of the Ukraine clash. Raphael Varane will pair up with Presnel Kimpembe at the heart of defence and with no N’Golo Kante in the team, the duo will have to be on their toes all the time. Paul Pogba and Adrian Rabiot make up the midfield pairing with Antoine Girezmann slotting in as the playmaker.
