This is it.
India take on UAE (international football friendly) at the Zabeel Stadium in Dubai tonight for what is, for now, their final preparatory match before the World Cup qualifiers against Qatar, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. While Igor Stimac will invariably make a few changes to the side that started against Oman, it will be a good test of India's bench strength, especially the young lads who have all done well in this season's Indian Super League (ISL).
Join us on our India vs UAE Football LIVE Blog for tonight's game and stay updated on all the action.
Kick-off is at 8.30.
Stay tuned. Live Updates here.

Good start by UAE
3' UAE look calm and composed, they are keeping possession and building from the back. And as we speak, there's the game's first chance almost as a lobbed ball is cleared somehow by Adil Khan.
