BBC Sport to show Northern Ireland-England U21 game

BBC Sport will be broadcasting tonight's UEFA European Men’s Under-21 Championship qualifier between Northern Ireland and England live.

The game between Tommy Wright's U21 side and England U21 interim manager Ben Futcher's team is being staged at Ballymena Showgrounds.

The live broadcast of the match will be available on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app (7.45 kick-off).

Former Northern Ireland international Stephen Craigan is set to join BBC Sport NI's Thomas Kane on commentary from the Co Antrim venue.

England were 3-0 winners when the sides met in their previous qualifying match at Goodison Park in Liverpool back in November.

European champions England currently sit second in Group F on 18 points, with six wins and a defeat from their opening seven qualifiers.

Northern Ireland are fourth in the group with two wins and four defeats from their six matches to date.
