Date with destiny for Reds

The play-offs for the FIFA World Cup finals take place on Tuesday, deciding the remaining slots in the finals this summer.

Denmark are away to Czech Republic, with the winner-takes-all encounter kicking off at 19:45 BST.

The hosts in Prague have not made the tournament since 2006 but knocked Republic of Ireland out on penalties last week.

Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu and Rasmus Hojlund represent the Danes, although the former is still recovering from the injury he sustained soon after scoring a cracking goal in January's win at Arsenal.

Hojlund, who is on loan at Napoli, started the 4-0 win over North Macedonia in their semi-final.

Altay Bayindir is with Turkey, as they prepare to face Kosovo in Pristina.

The tie also starts at 19:45 BST as Vincenzo Montella's side hope to clinch a first finals appearance since 2002, when they finished third.

Bayindir was an unused substitute for the 1-0 win over Romania last time out, as Galatasaray's Ugurcan Cakir kept goal.

The other European games see Bosnia and Herzegovina face Italy and Sweden meet Poland.

Elsewhere, the final spots in the United States, Canada and Mexico will go to either DR Congo or Jamaica, plus Iraq or Bolivia.
