There is a heavyweight clash at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf on Monday, when France take on Belgium in an unprecedented encounter.
Both heavyweights were in line to feature in England's so-called favourable side of the knockout draw ahead of the last round of group-stage matches.
Les Bleus were expected to beat Poland to top their group, but could only muster a 1-1 draw, losing Group D toppers spot to dark-horses Austria.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils have been heavily criticized by their fans for a couple of limp attacking displays in what looked like an easily winnable Group E, as a defeat to Slovakia and draw against Ukraine landed them a much sterner knockout tie as runners-up.

France vs. Belgium lineups & team news
Didier Deschamps has no major roster issues to deal with ahead of the Round of 16 match. The France has his entire squad at his disposal. Star forward Kylian Mbappe completed the full 90 minutes against Poland with no reactions after returning from a broken nose.
With his protective mask on, Real Madrid star Mbappe finally opened his account at the Euros at the third attempt, dispatching a penalty early in the second half before Poland were awarded a spot-kick of their own.
Mbappe is joined in attack by Marcus Thuram, with Antoine Griezmann set to operate behind the front two.
France starting lineup (4-3-1-2 right to left): 16. Maignan (GK) — 5. Kounde, 17. Saliba, 4. Upamecano, 22. Hernandez — 13. Kante, 8. Tchouameni, 14. Rabiot — 7. Griezmann — 15. Thuram, 10. Mbappe.
Injuries: None
Suspensions: None
Belgium also have no fresh injury issues to contend with, meaning Axel Witsel (adductor) and Thomas Meunier (thigh) remain the only two injury absentees for Domenico Tedesco's side.
Tedesco has rung the changes on the back of the stalemate with Ukraine.
RB Leipzig forward Lois Openda joins Jeremy Doku and Romelu Lukaku in an exciting front three. Kevin De Bruyne and Yannick Carrasco are also in from the start, meaning plenty of the defensive burden in midfield will fall on Amadou Onana.
