Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill must decide whether to make changes to the side that beat Ukraine.

If he reverts to a more defensive system then Conor McLaughlin and Paddy McNair may come back into the team, as could target man Kyle Lafferty.

Germany coach Joachim Low also has a dilemma over whether to persist with out-of-form Mario Gotze up front or instead play striker Mario Gomez.

Jerome Boateng, Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil are one booking from a ban.

A victory would make Northern Ireland mathematically sure of advancing. They would top the group if they win and Poland fail to record a victory.

They already have three points and cannot finish lower than third. A draw is likely to be enough to ensure progress to the last 16.

Even defeat may see Northern Ireland advance as one of the best third-place sides, depending on what happens in other groups.

Germany already have four points - which is likely to be enough to take them through to the last 16. They will guarantee progression to the knock-out stage if they avoid defeat.
 

Just listening to Martin McGuinness on the radio giving an interview prior to flying over to Paris for the match today. This will be his first Northern Ireland game. Hopefully he sees a great performance from the green and white army.
