European powers France and Spain are using the March international window to go against each other on the friendly stage, as the two meet at the Stade de France in Paris (3 p.m. ESPN2). 

Both teams are unbeaten in seven matches, and both are atop their World Cup qualifying groups on the road to Russia 2018, where they will both be among the favorites, provided they qualify.

Monaco rising star Kylian Mbappe is starting for France, which is without Paul Pogba. Spain is without the injured Diego Costa, but with the in-form Pedro and Andres Iniesta in the lineup, La Furia Roja still has plenty of accomplished players across the field.

Here are the lineups for both sides:
