Good afternoon and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of Northern Ireland against Austria in Group B3.
This is a dead rubber with Northern Ireland already relegated and Austria firmly in second behind Bosnia and Herzegovina, but an intriguing game nonetheless.
TEAM NEWS
Michael O'Neill has named his starting lineup for today's game in Belfast.
No Marko Arnautovic then for the visitors this evening.
A big miss, but still plenty of quality in their side, most notably utility-man David Alaba.
Austria's 0-0 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday ensured the group will finish with the three teams in their current positions.
10 minutes until the game gets underway at Windsor Park.
Northern Ireland have had a fairly wretched campaign and Michael O'Neill's men will be keen to salvage some pride with victory today.
Anthem time in Belfast.
There appears to be a healthy contingent of travelling Austria fans.
