Watch: Italy-Northern Ireland LIVE
Saturday 6 June, 2009

You can watch Italy’s experimental new side take on Northern Ireland in a friendly tonight on BBC3 or BBC2 NI.

Marcello Lippi’s squad warm up for the Confederations Cup in South Africa by welcoming Nigel Worthington and his men to the Arena Garibaldi in Pisa.

It will give debuts to several Serie A stars, including Gaetano D’Agostino, Davide Santon and Giuseppe Mascara.

This match also marks the comeback of Gennaro Gattuso five months after knee surgery.

Kick-off is at 19.50 UK time, although coverage begins on BBC3 at 19.30 with commentary from Mark Bright and Steve Wilson.

If you are watching the game on BBC2 NI, then the punditry is provided by Stephen Watson, Jackie Fullerton and John O’Neill.

Of course you can check back on the Football Italia website for in-depth post-match comments and analysis as well as full reports of the action.
