Liverpool star Conor Bradley is out to give Florian Wirtz a ‘difficult’ night as the pair clash on the international stage.

Germany take on Northern Ireland in World Cup qualifying on Sunday evening, meaning Bradley and Wirtz will be on opposing sides.

"He's a top player and I know it's going to be a difficult night for me but hopefully I can make it a difficult night for him too."

"They've got some top players, so it's always nice going up against top players and seeing where you're at compared to them.
