Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text coverage of Norway's World Cup qualifier against the Netherlands. Follow here for live updates on every goal and slice of action, with kick off at 7.45pm.

Here are the team line-ups again if you missed them...

Half an hour to kick off.

Relatively star-studded benches for both sides, showing their strength in depth: for Holland, Atalanta midfielders Teun Koopmeiners and Maarten de Roon sit aside Malen, Ryan Gravenberch, Nathan Ake and Wout Weghorst amongst others, whilst the visitors have Josh King, Ruben Gabrielsen, Thorstvedt and Jens Petter Hauge in their substitute ranks.

Just the two changes for the visitors: Kristian Thorstvedt and Marius Lode drop out afte the goalless draw with Latvia, Solbakken and Hanche-Olsen get the nod this time around.

Three changes for the hosts from the draw with Montenegro last time out: Justin Bijlow, Stefan de Vrij and Donyell Malen drop out, with Steven Bergwijn, Matthijis de Ligt and Jasper Cillessen taking their places.

Jan Aage Fjortoft has had his say on tonight's proceedings...

As things stand in Group G, it's all about the Netherlands. They lead with 20 points, and will qualify if they avoid defeat. Turkey and Norway are battling it out for that elusive playoff place, but one could leapfrog Holland if the Oranje lose. Turkey are second currently on goal difference, one goal better than their Norwegian counterparts.

The visitors come into the game missing their talisman Erling Haaland, and Alexander Sorloth deputises. He's flanked by Ola Solbakken and Mohamed Elyounoussi, but it would come as no surprise that Stale Solbakken would've rathered the Dortmund striker up top for the Scandinavians. A talented midfield trio comprises Maarten Odegaard and Morten Thorsby alongside Norwich shuttler Mathias Normann, and the back four's main job will be to keep the dangerous front trio of the hosts quiet. It'll be a tough ask.

It's similar formations for both sides here: 4-3-3, could transition into a 4-2-3-1 at times. The hosts will put emphasis on the flanks with Dumfries and Blind down the sides at full-back, and they've got the energy of Klaassen and Wijnaldum to complement the creativity of Frenkie de Jong. Memphis Depay is supported by Arnaut Danjuma and Steven Bergwijn to add even more pace and threat in behind to an already dangerous front three.

Let's analyse these team selections, shall we?

And here are the visitors: Nyland, Pedersen, Strandberg, Hanche-Olsen, Meling, Odegaard, Thorsby, Normann, Elyounoussi, Sorloth, Solbakken.

Here is the Holland team: Cillessen, Dumfries, de Ligt, van Dijk, Blind, Wijnaldum, de Jong, Klaassen, Bergwijn, Depay, Danjuma.
