Bahrain vs Japan LIVE!

The final Asian Cup quarter-final spots will be decided today, starting with this clash between the Pearl Divers and pre-tournament favourites Samurai Blue. Bahrain topped their group despite losing their opening game and head into this last-16 clash with real hope of becoming a quarter-finalist.

Japan also lost one and won two of their three group games but finished second in their group thanks to Iraq's perfect record - which was ended up Jordan in the knockout stage. It's fair to say Samurai Blue have not been at their most convincing in the tournament, but could continue their fine record against Bahrain this morning.

Premier League pair Takehiro Tomiyasu and Wataru Endo should start, but Brighton's Karou Mitoma was still nursing an ankle injury ahead of the game. Takumi Minamino will also be a familiar name to some, while Takefusa Kubo has this week been linked with a move to the English top flight. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.
