Football games simply don't come much bigger than this. Victory would earn Craig Bellamy's side a place in next Tuesday's final against either Italy or Northern Ireland, leaving them 90 minutes away from a place at this summer's tournament, while defeat would crush the nation's World Cup dreams and mean four more years of waiting.

In Harry Wilson, the hosts have a hero ready and waiting, but as the Red Wall have found out so many times before, international football rarely sticks to the script.

Bosnia and Herzegovina are gunning to reach the World Cup for just the second time, having previously made it in 2014, and only missed out on automatic qualification in the final round of fixtures.

The visitors, who are led by 40-year-old striker, captain, and all-time leading scorer Edin Džeko, have never lost to Wales in four previous meetings.

Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Wales v Bosnia and Herzegovina on TV and online.
