Will George Saville be a big miss for Northern Ireland?

The midfielder has been directly involved in the most shots for Northern Ireland in the UEFA Nations League (21 - 13 shots and eight chances created), however he is yet to score a goal or provide an assist in the competition.

The 'guess the Northern Ireland formation' game had started to become easy under Ian Baraclough - until this international window.

While it was his favoured 3-5-2 shape when Greece came to Belfast 10 days ago (is it really only 10 days ago?), he has gone with a 4-3-3 in the two away matches since. Neither of which panned out too well, of course.

He has options to go either way again this afternoon with the team he has selected.

In the interests of not breaking the tradition of having a pre-match prediction, I'm going to suggest a 3-5-2 (I may or may not have tried to listen in to a few ex-internationals discussing the topic before going on air for our radio programme).

That may be more in hope than anything, however, as the idea of seeing Shayne Lavery toiling out wide on the right again like he did in Kosovo is not a good one.

Lavery up top with Kyle Lafferty, Brodie Spencer and Conor McMenamin on either flank with Paddy McNair and Shea Charles joining captain Steven Davis in the midfield three.

That. of course, leaves Ciaran Brown and Dan Ballard in the back three with Jonny Evans.

Or does it?

It cold be Brown and Spencer at full-backs in a 4-3-3, but we'll wait and see.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell is missing and Trevor Carson is the man to replace the Shffield Wednesday man in nets.

Steven Davis makes his fourth start in as many matches - not bad for a 37-year-old - while the experienced head of Kyle Lafferty is handed another chance to end his goal drought.

Shea Charles and Paddy McNair com back into the starting team while Baraclough retains Shayne Lavery and Conor McMenamin as his wide men.

Northern Ireland: Carson, Spencer, Ballard, Evans, Brown, McNair, Davis, S Charles, McMenamin, Lavery, Laferty.

Gerry Armstrong and Jimmy Nicholl have led tributes to legendary Northern Ireland manager Billy Bingham, who passed away aged 90.

After playing at the 1958 World Cup, Bingham guided Northern Ireland to back-to-back tournaments in 1982 and again four years later.

Armstrong netted a famous winner against Spain at the 1982 World Cup and Nicholl was integral in both campaigns.

"The greatest manager Northern Ireland has ever had," said Armstrong.

"We were very privileged to have such a fantastic manager and he was a great friend as well. I love Billy to bits and I am so proud of what he achieved with the team."

Nicholl added: "You think about what he achieved, and he was really determined as a manager. We weren't going to win every game but it wasn't through a lack of trying.

"There was the night in Spain, I think that performance summed Billy up in what he could get out of players.

"When I look back and think about it, you weren't conscious you were doing it for Billy but it was all the stuff that went on before, 'we can do this, we can do this'.

"That was all down to him. A great man and great memories."

A Northern Ireland Supporters' Group have also planned a minute's applause in the 58th minute to remember Bingham.

Bingham played for Northern Ireland in the 1958 World Cup before going on to manager his country at two tournaments in the 1980s.

While there is a hugely-important Nations League game this afternoon, it will be an opportunity to remember Billy Bingham, who passed away at the age of 90.

Bingham played for Northern Ireland at the 1958 World Cup, but it was the 1980s he will be most-fondly remembered for as he guided his country to two finals in 1982 and again four years later.

If you're here and reading this, first of all congratulations for making it to the fourth and final Nations League game of this Nations League window.

It's not been an easy start for Northern Ireland as Ian Baraclough's side have lost two and drawn another of their three matches to date.

It's not been pretty, but in front of a home crowd who will be remembering the great Billy Bingham, it is a chance to end this quartet of matches on a high.

Kick-of is at 14:00 BST, so don't go anywhere and you can follow all the action here.
