  4. Last time at Windsor...

    Northern Ireland v Finland (19:45 BST)

    This feels like an age ago, but Northern Ireland's last outing at Windsor Park was a dramatic 2-1 win over Kosovo in September.

    Vedat Muriqi gave Kosovo the lead and looked set for a famous victory in Belfast but Gavin Whyte and Josh Magennis helped Northern Ireland fight back for their final win under Ian Baraclough.

    Will we see more drama tonight?

  5. He's back!

    Northern Ireland v Finland (19:45 BST)

    It's the homecoming as Michael O'Neill makes his return to Windsor Park as Northern Ireland manager.

    The Green and White Army will be in some voice after Thursday's win over San Marino, but Finland are in town and will be looking to spoil the party.

    You can follow the game live, you won't miss a thing here.
