Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the World Cup qualifier Group A clash between Luxembourg and Portugal. Kick-off is just an hour away now, let me just grab the team news!

Portugal have fond memories at the Stade Josy Barthel, having recorded a 2-0 victory here in the qualifier for Euro 2020 back in November 2019. Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo were on the scoresheet that evening.

Did you know? This will be the 18th meeting between Portugal and Luxembourg. Of the previous 17 encounters, Portugal have won 15, losing just once.

Luxembourg's Gerson Rodrigues scored the match winner against the Republic of Ireland in a 1-0 victory last time out and obviously keeps his place in the side. Experienced defender Lars Gerson comes into the starting XI on what is set to be a busy night for the hosts' back line.

In terms of team news, let's start with the visitors. Bruno Fernandes is suspended after picking up his second booking of the qualifiers against Serbia, so Ruben Neves comes into the fold. Lille midfielder Renato Sanches features from the off and Joao Felix is given an opportunity to impress. Cristiano Ronaldo, of course, starts and will be eager to get on the scoresheet having had a goal wrongly chalked off in the 2-2 draw with Serbia last time out.
