    Time for the national anthems. A stirring rendition of the Cypriot one first. It's called Hymn to Liberty. But you knew that didn't you?

    Wales manager Chris Coleman, speaking to Sky Sports: "We welcome the pressure - these are the games you want to be involved in.

    "You're doing something right if you're involved in the games that mean something, we've had good preparation and we're ready. We knew what to expect from Bosnia we needed to match their strengths and we did that.

    "Tonight will be tough - Cyprus can go one of two ways, they can be open or attacking or they can be defensive and attack on the counter. We'll be set up to combat both. The crowd got us over the line, they can help no doubt about it. It's hard for them, it's a Monday night it's a school night and we need to repay their support."

    Manchester United assistant manager and former Wales international Ryan Giggs, speaking to Sky Sports: "You've seen in the press conferences from Chris and the players that they're confident, they don't necessarily think they will win tonight - they're not cocky but they are quietly confident. We haven't seen that for a long time, hopefully we can get that win and qualify for the Championships that we haven't done for a long time."

    Gareth Bale is, however, struggling with a little knock tonight. The Real Madrid superstar sustained a slight back injury against Bosnia on Friday but is fine to play tonight.

    His manager, Chris Coleman, said: "He had a kick but he's all right. In the game the other night he came to the side but whatever he was saying my ears were closed because if there was an issue he wasn't coming off. We gave him treatment, he had a bit of strapping on his back, but he's fine."

    The last time these two teams met in Wales, the hosts won 3-1 - just a few days after a 17-year-old Gareth Bale had become their youngest ever scorer in a heavy defeat against Slovakia. That was just his fourth cap, and he had made eight league appearances for his club side Southampton. The boy's a man now.

    Two of Wales' rivals for qualification from Group B are playing tonight as Bosnia-Hercegovina host Belgium, who beat Andorra 6-0 in their only game so far.

    Bosnia coach Safet Susic signed a two-year contract in July after initially hinting he would step down after their World Cup group stage exit. However he is already under pressure after losing to Cyprus and drawing with Wales.

    Israel, who can also overtake Wales tonight, are away to Pyrenees minnows, Andorra.

    The Netherlands face a big trip to face Iceland tonight. The Nordic side have won two from two while the Dutch slipped up against Czech Republic last month.

    Lose tonight and the boys in Orange could be six points adrift of the top two already, with Czech Republic having already beaten Kazakhstan 4-2 today.

    Latvia and Turkey - the group's bottom two teams - face each other.

    So is tonight a must-win game for Wales? Skipper Ashley Williams certainly thinks so.

    "We know especially because we drew the game (against Bosnia) that we need to win this game," said the defender.

    "If we want to do anything in the group this is one we must win."
