National anthems time in Belfast.

The atmosphere is building ahead of kick-off inside Windsor Park as the Green and White Army go through their repertoire of pre-match songs, with the help of the very loud PA system admittedly.

The stadium is mostly a sea of green and white but the visiting Dutch fans are also making their presence felt in their distinctive orange colours in a small corner of the ground.

You get the feeling the crowd are waiting for a first view of one man though... Michael O'Neill. The decibels should go up another notch or too when he appears pitchside.

Good news for Northern Ireland. Neither of the above players who have had a hand in 85% of the Netherlands' goals this year are starting today.

There will be as much focus on the men on touchline tonight as there will be on the players on the pitch.

Northern Ireland fans are set to give Michael O'Neill a resounding send-off in what could - and I emphasise could - be his last home game in charge of the team in Belfast.

O'Neill will always be revered as the manager who led his country to a first major finals in 30 years - and a first European Championship appearance - and put the pride back in the Northern Ireland football team. A raucous reception awaits the new Stoke City boss from the vast majority of the 18,500 crowd.

In contrast, Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman was very much in the Northern Ireland fans' bad books after branding O'Neill's side "outrageous" and "terrible to watch" following his side's last-gasp 3-1 win in Rotterdam last month.

The former Dutch international midfielder issued what was interpreted as a partial apology when facing the media last night but still looks sure to receive a hot reception from the 'Green and White Army' when he appears in the technical area.

Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman says he did not intend to disrespect Northern Ireland when he criticised them after last month's Euro 2020 qualifier.

Koeman said NI were "outrageous" and "terrible to watch" after defeating Michael O'Neill's men 3-1 in Rotterdam.

"I didn't mean for them [my words] to be disrespectful.

"I was not talking about the way they played.

"I have a lot of respect, with the quality of the players - they gave so much against us. They were really difficult to beat.

"But my irritation after the game - maybe if I used the wrong words about that - was about wasting time from minute one in the game and the referee didn't do anything against that.

"If I used the wrong word, maybe I can feel sorry about that."

Any Wales fans still hanging round in here, I'll let you know how Croatia v Slovakia is going and what that means for you.

You can listen to tonight's game on BBC Radio 5 Live or BBC Radio Ulster. Both of those are available on this page, alongside my words.

What a world we live in.

Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill has been speaking to Sky Sports about having the safety net of a play-off place.

"It gives us a little bit of comfort but it doesn't affect what we want to do tonight. We have to try to win the game. We picked a team with that in mind.

"It would be brilliant if we could take things to the last game.

"We've put as much pace and creativity as we can in the team."

A weird situation for Northern Ireland today. Michael O'Neill remains in charge despite becoming Stoke City manager over a week ago.

He has agreed to remain in charge for this week's two qualifiers - plus the play-offs in March if they are needed (which is pretty likely). He also hasn't ruled out being in charge at Euro 2020 if Northern Ireland get there.

"Leaving before these two games was not an option," O'Neill said.

"That would not have been the right thing to do and I was clear with Stoke about that from the start."

We'll bring you goal updates of Germany's game against Belarus too. But to be honest Northern Ireland fans, I wouldn't be putting too much of your hopes and dreams into Belarus doing you a favour.

Northern Ireland's hopes of qualifying are pretty slim.

They need to beat the Netherlands at home and Germany away on Tuesday in their final two games by a cumulative total of at least four goals.

If they win both games 1-0, they would need either the Germans or the Dutch to slip up in home matches against Belarus and Estonia respectively.

Michael O'Neill's side will be in the play-offs next March if they fail to finish in the top two.

If Northern Ireland fail to beat the Netherlands and Germany beat Belarus, then the Dutch and Germans will qualify for next summer's tournament tonight.

Ronald Koeman's Netherlands side shows four changes from that which took to the field in Rotterdam and ultimately secured a last-gasp 3-1 win.

Lyon striker Memphis Depay, scorer of six goals during this campaign, has been carrying an injury in the run-up to the game and is absent, along with Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.

Denzel Dumfries and Steven Berwijn also drop out, with Joel Veltman, Donny van de Beek, Quincy Promes and Steven Berghuis coming into the starting team.

Netherlands: Cillesen, De Ligt, Van Dijk (capt), Veltman, Blind, De Roon, Van de Beek, F de Jong, Promes, Babel, Berghuis.

Wales goalscorer Kieffer Moore on Sky Sports: "It's massive for us to get the three points and now we go again Tuesday.

"I'm enjoying it so far, so long may it continue. We came here for the three points and we got them - now it's all guns blazing towards Tuesday.

"We're very confident [of securing automatic qualification]."

Wales goalscorer Harry Wilson on Sky Sports: "We all knew we needed to produce a performance and I think we've done that.

"The big man [Kieffer Moore] got a goal early on and it was nice for me to get a second one soon after to settle us down.

"We probably could have had a couple more."

Ryan Giggs
Wales manager on Sky Sports

The performance like always could be better but the result was the main thing tonight. It's set up nicely for Tuesday, depending on other results.

Kieffer [Moore] is a threat and we recognised they might we a bit weak at set-pieces. We were pleased to get the big man on the scoresheet again.

I thought the referee handled the game well and there were no silly fouls from us - going into Tuesday we wanted our best players available.

We've played some good football at times which is pleasing. It could have been better but overall I was happy with the performance.

How much can you remember about Steven Davis' international career?

Take our quiz here.

Northern Ireland captain Steven Davis will become the UK's most capped midfielder when he wins his 116th cap at Windsor Park tonight, surpassing David Beckham's previous benchmark.

Despite being the oldest outfield player in the Northern Ireland squad the Rangers man has played more club minutes this season than any other player in Michael O'Neill's panel.

Davis - who has always been a big favourite with the Belfast crowd - is now just three appearances short of Pat Jennings' record Northern Ireland total of 119.

Northern Ireland look to be lining up in a 4-5-1 formation with a team which shows three personnel changes from that which lost 3-1 to the Netherlands in their last competitive match in Rotterdam.

Jamal Lewis, Gavin Whyte and Josh Magennis come into the starting line-up with Michael Smith, Shane Ferguson and Kyle Lafferty dropping out.

Magennis is given his chance up front after scoring three times as a substitute during the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign.

Stuart Dallas looks set to play at right-back, with Paddy McNair occupying the more advanced midfield role from which he scored two goals in last month's 3-2 friendly victory over the Czech Republic last month.

Plenty of household names in the Dutch team, including Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, Juventus' Matthijs de Ligt and Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. One major absentee, though, is forward Memphis Depay, who scored in the Netherlands' win in Rotterdam over NI last month.

Northern Ireland: Peacock-Farrell, Corry Evans, Cathcart, Jonny Evans, Lewis, McNair, Davis, Saville, Dallas, Magennis, Whyte. Subs: Lavery, Ferguson, McGinn, Thompson, Smith, Carson, Donnelly, Flanagan, McGovern, McLaughlin, Boyce, Lafferty.

Netherlands: Cillessen, Veltman, de Ligt, van Dijk, Blind, Frenkie de Jong, de Roon, Berghuis, Promes, van de Beek, Babel. Subs: Dumfries, Bizot, Boadu, Propper, Ake, Stengs, Weghorst, Strootman, van Aanholt, Luuk de Jong, Zoet, Wijnaldum.
