Uruguay will be hoping to continue their impressive form at World Cups with a statement victory in their tournament opener against South Korea.
Uruguay's 26-man squad includes familiar faces Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani and Diego Godin as the South Americans place their trust in seniority in Qatar. The in-form Federico Valverde will also look to shine in an already stacked squad.
South Korea star Son Heung-min is still recovering from the facial injury he sustained whilst playing for Tottenham on November 1. Reports suggest he has begun heading the ball in training for the first time since the injury, but his availability for the curtain raiser is unconfirmed.
Both sides will be desperate to come away with three points in a difficult Group H featuring Portugal and Ghana.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch the match in Australia on TV or online via live stream.
