Portugal v Norway: Confirmed line-ups as defending Nations League champions aim to maintain 100% start

Portugal host Norway in the UEFA Nations League in a game that could see the defending champions punch their ticket to the quarter-finals. Jorge Jesus' men made it three wins from three last time out as they put the drama surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo's self-enforced exile from the squad to one side to beat Denmark 4-2.

Portugal have a six-point lead over each of their rivals in Group A4, meaning that a victory over Norway will be enough to secure their place in the last eight with two games to spare if Wales fail to beat Denmark. 101GreatGoals has the full team news from Estadio do Dragao.
