The two teams now head to BC Place for a clash that will decide top spot.

Canada know they will win Group B if they avoid defeat, which would mean Jesse Marsch’s side get to play their knockout games on home turf.

However, a defeat would see them leapfrogged by Switzerland, who trail them only on goal difference - so it is all to play for in Vancouver.

ITV has the broadcast rights for the 8pm (BST) kick-off, with coverage presented by Mark Pougatch.

The experienced presenter is joined by three big names in ITV’s studio, which boasts the stunning New York skyline as its backdrop.

Ex-Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright is on the punditry panel, having become a regular face on ITV’s tournament coverage over many years.

The Gunners legend will have a former team-mate alongside him in the form of Patrick Vieira, who won the 1998 World Cup with France on home soil and then triumphed at Euro 2000.

Completing the punditry panel is former Everton striker Duncan Ferguson - a member of the Scotland squad at Euro 1992.
