Head coach Raymond Domenech resorted to a 4-4-2 formation for the first time in the World Cup after his side were tied twice in the opening games when France played with a lone striker.

Trezeguet was left on the sidelines during the goalless draw with Switzerland and entered the game without touching the ball in the 1-1 tie with Korea.

The Juventus man was picked up ahead of Domenech's favorite substitute Luis Saha.

Mickael Silvestre will start in the left-back to the starting 11 to cover the absence of first-choice Eric Abidal while Frank Ribery is set to replace Zinedine Zidane.

Both Abidal and Zidane are suspended with two bookings.

Former World Champions France, with two points, need a victory to compete for a ticket to the round of 16.

Korea and Switzerland, both have five points, will play in the same time.
