Belgium v Algeria
Estadio Mineirao, Belo Horizonte
Kick-off: 17.00 BST.
Team News Belgium manager Marc Wilmots has no major injury concerns.
Chelsea's permanently loaned striker Romelu Lukaku will lead the attack as Aston Villa's Christian Benteke misses the competition due to an Achilles problem suffered earlier in the year.
Kevin De Bruyne should start behind Lukaku, with Steven Defour expected to miss out on a place in the starting XI.
Meanwhile, Algeria head coach Vahid Halilhodzic has a number of experienced players plying their trade in Europe's top leagues available to him, with the likes of Faouzi Ghoulam, Saphir Taïder and Nabil Bentaleb expected to start.
Match Notes
Belgium have a host of familiar faces in their squad and if those Premie League regulars can match their form in england - and if Marouane Fellaini can raise his game - then they have a chance of enjoying the World Cup.
Algeria have done well to qualify for their fourth finals and though Group H is not the strongest, they will do well to progress.
Stat of the game: Algeria are the only country at the World Cup for whom all 23 of their players play for different teams.
