    Albania shouldn't be underestimated, and I'm not just saying that because I drew them in the office sweepstake. 

    France have failed to beat them in their last two meetings, with Antoine Griezmann rescuing a 1-1 draw in a friendly in November 2014, before that defeat I mentioned a little earlier. 

    If Armando Sadiku can rediscover his pre-tournament form - when he scored in three consecutive games - then he could cause France a few problems.

    Bold stuff from Didier Deschamps, but good to see a manager not afraid to leave out the big names. 

    Will it pay off?

    In case you missed it earlier, the big news from Marseille sees France pair Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann dropped to the bench after the dramatic 2-1 opening win against Romania.

    That means Manchester United's Anthony Martial and Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman replace them - as they did in the Stade de France on Friday - with matchwinner Dimitri Payet shifting into the hole behind Oliver Giroud.

    Meanwhile, minnows Albania have made three changes from their 1-0 defeat by Switzerland.

    Suspended skipper Lorik Cana is replaced by Arlind Ajeti, while right-winger Andi Lila and central midfielder Ledian Memushaj replace Odise Roshi and Taulant Xhaka.

    Cheers, Tom.

    Almost a year ago to the date, Didier Deschamps experienced one of his lowest points as France manager after watching his side lose to Albania in a friendly.

    It was their third defeat in four international outings and led to the media labelling the performance 'lacklustre', 'listless' and 'worrying'.

    Fast forward 12 months and France face Albania once again, this time bidding for an 11th win in 12 matches after beating Romania in their Euro 2016 opener.

    They were not particularly convincing in that win, but that may well have been just early tournament nerves. 

    Could this be the game that the real France turns up?

    As we expected, but are still surprised by, France drop Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann. Not a bad pair to have on the bench.

    A draw in Portugal's first game has not dampened the enthusiasm of Cristiano Ronaldo.

    The Real Madrid player was critical of Iceland's tactics on Tuesday night but Iceland midfielder Kari Arnason responded: "It just makes it sweeter that he is a bad loser."

    Romania 1-1 Switzerland

    With just eight teams of the 24 being eliminated in the group stages, it could well be that the four points collected by Switzerland is already enough to secure their place in the knockout stages. As Pat Nevin says, they look a very good side. Right up until the last 20 yards.

    Pat Nevin

    "To go far in competitions like this you need a goalscorer, and Switzerland may have ability in lots of other positions on the pitch, but they don't have one of those. Seferovic looks like he's got excellent technique but he's not a goalscorer. Embolo's got brilliant pace but he's not a goalscorer."
