France vs Peru: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview

Having won their opening game Les Bleus can take a step towards the knock-out stage with a win over Ricardo Gareca's men in Yekaterinburg

France can move closer to the last 16 of the World Cup on Thursday when they face Peru at Central Stadium in their second Group C game.

Les Bleus narrowly secured maximum points against Australia in their opening match of the tournament, winning 2-1 thanks to a VAR-assisted penalty - which was converted by Antoine Griezmann - and a fortuitous Paul Pogba goal.

Despite winning that match, however, Didier Deschamps will be keen to see an improvement from his players against the South Americans.
