    Australia v Peru (15:00 BST)

    Group C: 1st France, 2nd Denmark, 3rd Australia, 4th Peru

    To progress Australia MUST beat Peru this afternoon and Denmark MUST lose to France.

    France and Denmark currently sit in first and second in Group C and those two teams, who meet today in Moscow, will progress if there are any other results.

    If Australia win then they also have to improve their goal difference to be better than the Danes' to progress.

    If the teams are level on points and goal difference then it will go to goals scored (both teams have currently scored two goals).

    There is a scenario where if Australia win 1-0 and Denmark lose 2-1 that the two teams will have identical records and then the places will be decided on fair play - i.e. the number of red and yellow cards shown to each team.

    Hello! Yes, eight teams have qualified for the World Cup knockout stages but there are still another eight places up for grabs.

    Either France, Denmark or Australia will take two of those places over the next few hours.

    Right here we're focussing on Australia's bid to reach the knockout stages for the second time in the tournament's history.
