Gattuso on Italy leaders, Premier League power and Winter World Cup

Gattuso on Italy leaders, Premier League power and Winter World Cup

Gennaro Gattuso believes Italy ‘have certainly improved’ from last month, but warns the economic gap makes it ‘a different sport’ to the Premier League, while he dislikes FIFA aims for another Winter World Cup.

The game with Estonia kicks off at the Le Coq Arena in Tallinn at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens on the Liveblog.

Tonight’s match will be available to watch live in the UK and Ireland on Amazon Prime Video. Supporters in the USA are able to tune in via DirecTV Stream, Sling TV and Tubi TV.

When these sides met in Bergamo last month, it was the debut for new coach Gennaro Gattuso, resulting in a 5-0 victory.

That was followed by a less encouraging 5-4 win over Israel, and the Azzurri continue to play catch-up with runaway group leaders Norway.

“There were already obvious differences in the fitness levels of the lads, and I want to thank the clubs for allowing us to collaborate with them throughout the last few months. The lads have certainly improved and are ready for these games,” Gattuso told RAI Sport.

Quick take: Match context: momentum and small details could decide this one, especially set-pieces and transitions. Form and fitness will matter; expect managers to rotate carefully around the congested schedule. Continental stakes raise the intensity, where away goals no longer apply but margins still feel razor thin. We’ll keep an eye on confirmed details as the story develops from official sources.
