This is how Sweden starts in the World Cup qualifying match against Poland

Graham Potter makes two changes to the starting lineup for the national team's crucial match against Poland tonight.

Compared to the starting eleven against Ukraine on Thursday, Daniel Svensson replaces Herman Johansson as right-back, while Carl Starfelt replaces the injured Isak Hien as center-back, just as Fotbollskanalen reported earlier in the day.

According to Fotbollskanalen, Johansson would also have started against Poland, but has been forced to withdraw.

Winning teams will earn a spot in this summer's World Cup finals in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Sweden's starting lineup:

Goalkeeper: Kristoffer Nordfeldt.

Backline: Daniel Svensson, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Carl Starfelt, Victor Nilsson Lindelöf, Gabriel Gudmundsson.

Midfield: Yasin Ayari, Jesper Karlström.

Forwards: Anthony Elanga, Viktor Gyökeres, Benjamin Nygren.

The Polish starting eleven offers no big surprises, with Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski the biggest star.
