Isak and Gyokeres up front for Sweden as Gundmundsson fit enough to start

Graham Potter has gone with the two-man strike partnership that started together under him for the first time in Sweden's second warm-up match against Greece earlier this month.

There are two changes to the side that began that 2-2 draw - Victor Lindelof comes back in as expected to captain the side, as Jesper Karlstrom comes into the heart of midfield. Daniel Svensson and Mattias Svenberg drop to the bench.

Kristoffer Nordfeldt keeps his place in goal, while Gabriel Gudmundsson has been deemed fit enough to start as one of the wing-backs in a defensive five having missed training multiple times last week due to illness.

The Netherlands' 2-2 draw with Japan earlier today means first place in Group F is up for grabs in Sweden's first World Cup match since 2018.

Defenders: Alexander Bernhardsson, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Isak Hien, Victor Lindelof, Gabriel Gudmundsson
