KO: Wales v Ukraine - 5.00pm, Cardiff City Stadium

Whoever wins will qualify for this winter's tournament in Qatar.

The match - which was due to be played at the end of March - was postponed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Cymru captain Gareth Bale spoke to the media on Saturday and is looking forward to kick off saying: "We love playing at home and playing in front of our fans, it's huge. It's a cauldron and it intimidates the other teams. We have to focus on what we need to do and we can't get carried away. We have to concentrate on this difficult game and we've got enough experience not to get carried away.

"We understand the awful things that are going in the Ukraine, and our hearts go out to them. Seeing the pictures and what's going on is heart-breaking. It's a horrible situation and it's difficult to talk about as it's still going on. It's a game of football and we want to win, and that's the only thing. We're all massively motivated to qualify for the World Cup and we've put ourselves in with a great chance."

The squad are relaxed heading into the game according to defender Connor Roberts. "It's normal to have a little bit of nerves," said Roberts. "But for myself, the excitement and opportunity to get to a World Cup with Wales is driving me on. Hopefully come the end of the game I'm smiling. We've played big games before and nothing changes really, it's very relaxed in the camp and business as usual.

"We have to win and that's at the forefront of our minds. We have to play to our best all over the park. It's horrible what's happening to their country, but tomorrow's a game of football, and only the football is going to be on my mind and I'm sure that's the same for every other Welsh player."

Welsh fans from the world of sport, entertainment and across the political spectrum have sent messages of support.

First Minister Mark Drakeford said: "I would like to give a warm Welsh welcome to the Ukrainian football team and their supporters to Cardiff.

"This will be an opportunity for us to reaffirm our support for Ukraine as it fights Russia's unprovoked and brutal act of war.

"I am sure that the game will be a very competitive fixture between two skilful and passionate teams - there is a big prize to be won."
