The official line-up is out for Argentina. Here’s the starting eleven:

ROMERO; MERCADO, OTAMENDI, FUNES MORI, ROJO; BIGLIA, KRANEVITTER, BANEGA; MESSI, AGUERO and DI MARIA.

Gabriel MERCADO starts at right back ahead of Pablo ZABALETA and Nicolas OTAMENDI is fit enough to start ahead of his Manchester City teammate Martin DEMICHELIS.

Sergio AGUERO, as expected, starts ahead of Gonzalo HIGUAIN in attack.
