Northern Ireland are still looking for a first competitive win in 90 minutes under Ian Baraclough and will hope to earn it on Wednesday when they take on Lithuania.

The two nations clash in a World Cup qualifier, with neither having scored or won a game so far in the group stage, after two matches apiece.

Northern Ireland did at least draw with Bulgaria after a defeat to Italy - the Azzurri and Switzerland have both beaten Lithuania so far.

A victory here is vital for any optimistic hopes of finishing second in the group, which brings with it a play-off shot to make the finals in Qatar for 2022.
