2018 Russia World Cup in numbers

Switzerland are coming into this game with the possibility of getting the top position in Group E. If Serbia manage to get a win or a draw against Brazil on Wednesday then Group E will be theirs for the taking.

Switzerland recently beat Serbia 2-1 on Friday thanks to a late goal from Xherdan Shaqiri. This is their first win of the World Cup.

Costa Rica are yet to score a goal in the competition. They are coming into this game following their recent defeat against Brazil which now means that they cannot qualify for the knockout stage of the competition.

Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of the climax of Group E.

Brazil can secure their place in the last-16 later today but don't sleep on Serbia who also have their eyes on the knockout phase.

Switzerland have one foot there already but Costa Rica could cause them more than a few problems as well.

We will have all the latest build-up from Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod right here so don't touch that dial.

Are you still digesting the results of Group F's earlier games? I know I am

But we've got still got two games to go! Here are the line ups for both matches

[27 June 2018 18:28 · Michael Jones]

AS it stands in Group E, Costa Rica are out but Serbia, Brazil and Switzerland could all progress.

A win for either Serbia will be enough for them to go through, but Brazil need to avoid a loss if they want to qualify.

Switzerland will qualify with a win over Costa Rica but would have to rely on other results if they lose or draw.

We could be in for another cracking evening of World Cup football here!

The fans are in the house in Moscow, these guys will want a better performance their side today, they left it late against Costa Rica but with the way this group stands early goals could be key for Brazil

[27 June 2018 18:42 · Michael Jones]

These guys feel like an upset could happen, Serbia let it slip against Switzerland, will they be back on form tonight?

[27 June 2018 18:48 · Michael Jones]

Xherdan Shaqiri came to the rescue for Switzerland in the last minutes of the game against Serbia, will he do it again tonight? 

Kick off is just over 10 minutes away

Brilliant save from Sommer, the ball comes into the Swiss area from the left and Borges gets to the ball first, his header is angled down to the right of Sommer, but the goalkeeper leaps to his right and saves it one-handed
