ITV's glorious rooftop studio in Brooklyn will be blessed with an all-star line-up for tonight's Group I match between Norway and France.

Presenter Mark Pougatch is on anchoring duty and will be joined before, during and after the match by a trio of legendary Premier League alumni.

World Cup regulars Roy Keane and Ian Wright will be on hand to offer the wisdom of a combined 765 appearances in England's top division and eight Premier League titles.

There's no Norwegian representation in the ITV loft tonight but there's no shortage of French football expertise in the form of Wright's former Arsenal teammate and 1998 World Cup winner Patrick Vieira.

The former Gunners midfielder played more than 300 Premier League matches for Arsenal and Manchester City, winning the title three times under Arsene Wenger in an era defined in part by Arsenal's rivalry with Manchester United.

Keane and Vieira enjoyed many ferocious midfield battles, encountering one another 19 times in club football and once in a France win over the Republic of Ireland in a World Cup qualifier at Lansdowne Road.

Their head-to-head record? Seven wins apiece and six draws.

Live commentary from Boston will be provided by the inimitable Jon Champion, who will be joined as always by former Rangers and Scotland striker Ally McCoist.
