Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Switzerland manager Ottmar Hitzfeld has made two changes to the side that was thrashed against France on Friday.
One of those is enforced after Stefan von Bergen picked up an injury after just nine minutes in the 5-2 defeat - but the man who replaced him that day, Philippe Senderos will not play tonight.
Instead, 22-year-old FC Basel defender Fabian Schar will play as Hitzfeld looks to shore up a defence that was picked apart by Karim Benzema and Co.
Bayer Leverkusen striker Josip Drmic replaces Haris Serefovic up front. Switzerland need to win to be sure of qualification, and will be relying on France to get at least a draw.
Honduras boss Luis Fernando Suarez also makes two changes with Wilson Palacios returning after suspension and Juan Garcia also in.
Celtic defender Emilio Izaguirre is replaced, as is Luis Garrido.
Honduras: Valladares, Figueroa, Bernardez, J Garcia, W Palacios, Bengtson, Costly, B Garcia, Espinoza, Claros, Beckeles.
Substitutes: Izaguirre, O Chavez, Martinez, M Chavez, Escobar, Delgado, Palacios, Naja, Garrido, Montes, Martinez, Fernandez.
Switzerland: Benaglio, Lichtsteiner, Inler, Xhaka, Behrami, Rodriguez, Mehmedi, Drmic, Djourou, Schar, Shaqir.
Substitutes: Barnett, Sender, Ziegler, Sommer, Dzemai, Fernan, Lang, Stocker, Burki, Gavrano, Seferov.
