Northern Ireland are all set to meet North Macedonia again, as their World Cup qualifying campaign continues.

The two sides meet at a sold-out Seaview - just four days after their meeting in Skopje.

Last Thursday, Northern Ireland produced a clinical display - bagging no fewer than 11 goals to claim their highest-ever scoring win.

Manager Kenny Shiels said they simply had to forget about that remarkable tally - and concentrate on the night ahead in Belfast.

"Having beaten someone 11-0 and four days later you're playing them at home, it's only human nature there would be a little bit of a feeling that you just have to turn up.

"But we have got to eliminate those thoughts."

Now, the match at Seaview kicks off at 7 o'clock.
