Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE commentary of Azerbaijan and Italy. Team news is coming right up - kick-off is at 5pm.

Antonio Conte (Italy): “I’m happy, tonight Italy must be motivated. I expect an Italy that is organised and one that will play a beautiful game. I want my side to be determined, to have the desire to control the game and to win.”

Antonio Conte's Italy will secure a place in France next summer with a victory this evening. They occupy top spot in Group H, two points above second placed Norway, who they just happen to meet next week in the final group game.

Azerbaijan are unbeaten in their last four games and gave Italy a difficult match in the reverse fixture which the Italians won 2-1. The hosts have a clean bill of health heading into this weekend's game, with captain Rasad Sadiqov playing his 100th international cap.

Southampton's Graziano Pelle will be expected to carry his impressive club form to international level as he starts in attack for the Italians alongside Eder of Sampdoria. Italy have scored just four times in five games. Meanwhile, fans of Andrea Pirlo will be disappointed that he misses out through injury.
