Erling Haaland scored his first international goal for Norway but it wasn't enough as Austria claimed the three points in the UEFA Nations League

Player watch: Newcastle target Jamal Lewis played the full 90 minutes against Romania and could do so again on Monday. It could also be a monumental evening for captain Steven Davis, who will draw level with Pat Jennings' all-time appearances record of 119 if he plays against Norway.

There are a few familiar faces for the visitors too. Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland scored his first international goal against Austria and is likely to start again at Windsor Park. Bournemouth's Joshua King - who played 64 minutes on Friday - also has a chance to put himself in the shop window for any potential transfer this summer.
