Northern Ireland are set to face New Zealand tonight in a friendly at Windsor Park (7.45pm kick-off).

It's a final warm-up for the crunch World Cup qualifier away to Azerbaijan on Saturday week, June 10th.

Manager Michael O'Neill says he intends to use the game to assess fringe players on the squad.

 

Meanwhile O'Neill is urging his players to kick-on after qualifying for the European Championships - and make it to the World Cup as well.

Team captain Steven Davis says it's useful to have a game ahead of next week's showdown in Baku.

We've also been speaking with the New Zealand camp.

Star striker Chris Wood says he's looking forward to facing his Leeds United teammate, Northern Ireland midfielder, Stuart Dallas!
