WIth Italy already six points clear at the top of Group C, the chasing pack will be eyeing the runners-up spot. Aside from the Faroe Islands, it's there for the taking. Can Northern Ireland make a statement of intent tonight?
18:50
Northern Ireland are currently fifth in the six-team group, but a victory tonight could potentially lift them to second - the position currently occupied by Slovenia. The Irish won 1-0 in Slovenia back in September 2010, so there's reason for optimism.
