Christian Eriksen vs Hugo Lloris (Denmark vs France)
Christian Eriksen heads into this World Cup in cracking form. The Dane was named in the PFA Team of the Season as his performances inspired an inconsistent Tottenham side into the third spot that fetched them Champions League qualification for next season. At the heart of the inconsistent showings was his club captain Hugo Lloris, who had an extremely difficult season that was filled with numerous mistakes.
Christian Eriksen is undoubtedly the star of his national team Denmark and he will be central to everything good about Denmark. The 26-year old will line up in the number. 10 spot behind the striker and will need to be at the top of his game if Denmark are to advance to the knockout stages. Lloris is the captain of an exciting French side that are favourites to lift the World Cup in Russia and will be the guardian of the French side.
Both the Spurs boys are the most experienced players of their respective sides. Eriksen scored a sensational hat-trick against Ireland in the World Cup qualifier playoff match to book Denmark's place in the World Cup. Similar inspirational performances will be required to see Denmark perform well in this tournament. The man who'll be in his way against France is none other than his skipper at Spurs- Hugo Lloris and the two will look to outdo each other when France and Denmark clash on 26th June.
