Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Nations Cup clash between France and Germany. Under-fire Joachim Low takes his struggling side to the home of the World Cup champions, having won just three of their last 12 matches - no pressure then. Kick-off is 45 minutes away.

Germany haven't scored in their last three competitive matches, for the first time in their history.

In his 12 years as Germany manager, never has Low needed a result more than now.

Germany get the game underway in Paris.

They aren't just good at football, the people of France know how to sing their anthem, too.

It is time for the national anthems...

The Nations League? Your questions answered.

A win for Les Bleus would give Deschamp's side a four-point cushion at the top of Group A1. And who would bet against them? France are unbeaten in 14 matches - they haven't lost in a competitive fixture since June 2017,

Defeat tonight would not relegate Die Mannschaft, but it would knock Low's side out of the running for the Finals and could possibly spell the ending of the 58-year-old's 12-year reign as manager.

... But how much longer will the 58-year-old keep his job?

Low rings the changes, with no fewer than five new faces brought into the starting XI from the side thrashed by the Netherlands at the weekend. In come Thilo Kehrer, Niklas Sule, Nico Schluz, Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane. Out goes the injured Jerome Boateng, Jonas Hector, Emre Can, Thomas Muller and Mark Uth.

Starting XI: Neuer, Kehrer, Ginter, Hummels, Gnabry, Kroos, Werner, Schulz, Sule, Kimmich, Sane.

Determined to take a step closer to the Finals and get his hands on more silverware, Didier Deschamps names a strong side. In fact, there is only one change from the XI which started in the World Cup final against Croatia, Pres Kimpembe replacing the injured Samuel Umtiti. It's the perfect blend of youth and experience.

Starting XI: Lloris, Pavard, Kimpembe, Varane, Pogba, Griezmann, Giroud, Mbappe, Kante, Matuidi, Hernandez.
