Wales v Northern Ireland LIVE: Kick-off time, TV channel and score updates

Wales and Northern Ireland face off at Cardiff City Stadium tonight in an international friendly match both sides wanted to avoid.

The two sides lost their respective World Cup semi-final play-off ties last Thursday, with Wales going down on penalties to Bosnia-Herzegovina, while Northern Ireland were beaten by Italy in Bergamo to end their dreams of a place in the finals this summer.

The losing semi-finalists will now meet in the Welsh capital, with little more than pride on the line.

Craig Bellamy is likely to make changes to his starting XI, with fringe players set to come into the team to take on Michael O'Neill's outfit.

One player who won't be playing, however, is Rubin Colwill, who has been sent back to club side Cardiff City.

Tonight's game will be shown on BBC One Wales and S4C and you can follow live updates in our blog below.

Kick-off is at 7.45pm
