Chris McHardy is away in the US of A for the World Cup, so Sean O'Shea and ex-Burnley and Republic of Ireland player Stephen Ward are in the hot-seats.

We look at all the latest World Cup results, including Curacao's first-ever goal in the Finals, Sweden's masterclass and Ivory Coast's dramatic late winner.
