STUTTGART, Germany (Reuters) - Belgium forward Leandro Trossard got the nod to start in their final Group E match against Ukraine as both sides seek to progress to the last 16 knowing a win could clinch top spot in the group.

Trossard comes in for Dodi Lukebakio, in a front three alongside Romelu Lukaku and Jeremy Doku, in the only change made by coach Domenico Tedesco from the side that beat Romania last time out.

Serhiy Rebrov made three changes to his Ukraine team that beat Slovakia, with winger Mykhailo Mudryk dropped to the bench. Ukraine line up in a 5-3-2 formation, with forward Roman Yaremchuk getting his first start of the tournament.

Yaremchuk, who scored the winner against Slovakia, is one yellow card away from missing the next match.

Following are starting lineups for Ukraine and Belgium for their Group E match on Wednesday in Stuttgart.

Ukraine: Antoliy Trubin; Oleksandr Tymchyk; Illia Zabarnyi, Oleksandr Svatok, Mykola Matviyenko (c), Vitaliy Mykolenko; Mykola Shaparenko, Volodymyr Brazhko, Georgiy Sudakov, Roman Yaremchuk, Artem Dovbyk

Belgium: Koen Casteels, Jan Vertonghen, Wout Faes, Arthur Theate, Timothy Castagne; Kevin De Bruyne (c), Amadou Onana, Youri Tielemans; Jeremy Doku, Romelu Lukaku, Leandro Trossard.
