Live Updates
A good run from Wijnaldum and he lets fly but again it’s straight at Schon.
CHANCE! Robben forces a save from Schon but Sneijder elects not to shoot first time with the follow up, allowing Luxembourg to regroup and the chance is gone.
In comes the Robben corner but cleared just before it reaches Van Dijk.
The rain really not helping with the state of this pitch, which is chewing up pretty easily. A typical Robben run ends in a Dutch corner.
Another foul by Mutsch, this time on Wijnaldum, concedes a dangerous free kick. In it comes from Sneijder but straight at the keeper.
Luxembourg playing with confidence early on. They really have nothing to lose. The Dutch playing in their uncustomary blue away kit, playing with a conventional back four.
Just a single point for Luxembourg so far but they have been competitive in this group. The Dutch need victory to put pressure on group leaders France. Bruma heads tamely into the hands of Schon.
Early foul by Mutsch on Robben, who is deffinitely one to watch tonight on his return to the side.
Heavy rain here in Luxembourg, as there is in Sao Paulo for the Brazilian GP. A little safer here, one would hope...
KICK-OFF! Referee Anthony Taylor blows the whistle to get us underway here at Stade Josy Barthel.
FIVE MINUTES TO KICK-OFF: The players are in the tunnel and making their way out onto the pitch. Must win game for the Dutch and surely they will do so.
TEN MINUTES TO KICK-OFF
Arjen Robben (via AFP): "We have to go there with the right attitude. It is about winning this game more than anything else, it is as simple as that. Of course, you have to respect your opponent, but let's not overestimate Luxembourg. It might sound strange, but we should not be satisfied with a 1-0 or 2-0 win. We have to put in an intense performance and not allow them to breathe. If we do that, we are capable of getting a good win there.''
Danny Blind (via ESPN): "Luxembourg will be a totally different game (to against Belgium)and it is one in which we will need to be inventive when we have the ball.''
Here's a reminder of how the teams line up tonight.
Luxembourg: Schon; Malget, Chanot, Mahmutovic; Jans, Bensi, Philipps, Bohnert, Mutsch, Da Mota; Turpel.
Netherlands: Stekelenburg; Brenet, Bruma, Van Dijk, Blind; Ramselaar, Wijnaldum, Klaassen; Robben, Dost, Sneijder.
