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.

Igor Stimac opts for 4-3-3
It looks like a 4-3-3 for India with Gurpreet at goal, Pritam Kotal and Akash Mishra acting as the two side backs, Mashoor Shereef and Adil Khan slot in at centre back.
The midfield looks particularly exciting with Anirudh Thapa tripling up with Lalengmawia 'Apuia' and Suresh Singh Wangjam.
In attack, the in-form Manvir Singh is accompanied by Lallianzuala Chhangte and Liston Colaco!
