Gareth Bale says Wales will have "all guns blazing" against Belgium on Sunday night.

Wales sit top of their Euro 2016 Group B qualifying group with seven points from their first three games but Chris Coleman’s men face their biggest test so far in Brussels this weekend.

World Cup quarter-finalists Belgium are ranked fourth in the world and although captain Vincent Kompany is ruled out of the game, the hosts will have the likes of Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois, Romelu Lukaku and Adnan Januzaj available at the King Baudouin Stadium.

"We're in a great situation ourselves at the moment and we're looking forward to the game," Bale told FAW TV.

"We know how good a team Belgium are, but we also know how good a team we are. We're going to give it our all, go out all guns blazing and try and do as best we can.

"We know it's going to be difficult to go there and win but we'll be fully focused and fully prepared to do that and hopefully we'll come away with all three points."

Wales have traditionally been slow starters in qualification campaigns but they have hit the ground running this time.

Bale scored twice in the 2-1 opening-day win in Andorra and says they are enjoying being on top of the group.

"It's something that I think we're all relishing, it's something that we're excited about," he said.

"Ultimately that's where we want to be and the fans have been amazing. It was important that we got off to a good start in Andorra and it's kind of been a snowball effect.

"The last two games at home the fans were incredible, ultimately I think they got us over the line in both games. Now we're top of the league, hopefully they will keep coming back and supporting us."
