Slovakia aiming to build on shock Belgium win

Few gave Slovakia much chance of beating Belgium on Monday but that's exactly what they did as they held on for a 1-0 win.

They are now in a strong position to get out of their group, which would be a great achievement for the nation.

The players have arrived

Just over an hour until kick-off and both sets of players are in the building.

The big news for Ukraine is that Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin has been dropped after a poor showing against Romania. He is replaced by Anatoliy Trubin.

Former West Ham winger Andriy Yarmolenko also gets the nod to start.
