'We have to believe'- NI captain Davis positive about World Cup draw

Northern Ireland captain Steven Davis says getting off to a good start will be vital to his side's chances of qualifying from what he admits is a difficult World Cup 2022 qualifying group.

Monday's draw placed Ian Baracough's men in Group C with Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Lithuania for a qualifying campaign that begins in March.

"My immediate thoughts are that it is quite a difficult group, but one that we will look to get off to a good start in and hopefully build on that," Davis said.
