Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the World Cup qualifier between Italy and Switzerland. Kick off from the Stadio Olimpico is at 7:45 GMT.

The team's are in the tunnel. Here we go!

Just over 5 minutes til kick off. Predictions?

Italy certainly have more match-winners, and the midfield battle will be interesting, with Nicolo Barella, Jorginho and Manuel Locatelli in line. Chiesa, Insigne and Belotti is a hell of a front line, too.

It looks like Switzerland are setting up to counter-attack, with Xherdan Shaqiri theier obvious danger man. Denis Zakaria will give them a foothold in midfield.

Switzerland are unbeaten in their last six and have won three of their last five. This will not be easy for Italy.

Italy's only defeat in their last six matches, wehich includes their Euro 2020 final win over England in July, came against Spain the the Nations League semis. But they've also won once, too, beating Lithuania 5-0. They drew 0-0 to Switzerland in the away leg of their group.

Group C is tight, with Italy leading the way to the Swiss on goal difference. Three points for either side will leave them needing just one more in their final game.

TEAM NEWS!

This is how the European champions line up tonight.
