What can we expect from Tunisia vs France?
France may choose to rest some players with their place in the last 16 already secured.
Tunisia will hope their minds are already on the knockout stages, as they must win to stand a chance of progressing.
The French have been one of the best sides at the World Cup so far. They fell behind 1-0 against Australia in their opening fixture before powering back with four unanswered goals, two from Olivier Giroud.
Kylian Mbappe then scored twice, either side of an Andreas Christensen goal, as France beat Denmark in game two.
This is the first ever competitive fixture between France and Tunisia. It is Tunisia’s sixth appearance at the World Cup finals, though they have never previously qualified from the group stage.
What other games are on TV today?
For the final round of fixtures, games in the same group are played at the same time. This is because playing later could give one team an advantage, as they would know exactly what they would need to do to progress to the knockouts.
The final Group D fixtures will be played at 3pm, with both games on the BBC.
Australia vs Denmark is on BBC Two, with coverage starting at 2.45pm from the Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah. Mark Chapman presents, with analysis from Jonathan Pearce and Dion Dublin.
Group C’s final games kick off at 7pm, also on the BBC.
Coverage of Poland vs Argentina starts at 6.30pm on BBC One from Stadium 974 in Doha. Gary Lineker presents, with commentary by Steve Bower and Danny Murphy.
Saudi Arabia vs Mexico at the Lusail Stadium is over on BBC Two, with coverage beginning at 6.45pm.
