Luxembourg vs. Netherlands: World Cup 2018 Qualifying Live Stream, Preview

The Netherlands need to make up ground in Group A when they face Luxembourg in a qualifier for the 2018 FIFA World Cup at the Stade Josy-Barthel on Sunday.

Coach Danny Blind's team trails leaders France by six points and second-placed Sweden by three in Group A, per FIFA's official site. Yet the Dutch have a great chance to not only close the gap but also pad their goal difference.

However, Blind will be without at least one key striker after Tottenham Hotspur centre-forward Vincent Janssen was ruled out with injury.

Here are the schedule and streaming details for the match:

Date: Sunday, November 13

Time: 5 p.m (GMT). 12 p.m. (ET).

Live Stream: Sky Go. NowTV.

This should be a game for plenty of goals for the Dutch. However, Janssen will be a miss up top, after the Tottenham attacker was ruled out with a concussion, per Lyall Thomas of Sky Sports.

Yet one notable name who will be involved is Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben. The 32-year-old has merited a recall to the international setup after some fine form in the Bundesliga.

He's scored four times and also provided a pair of assists in both domestic and UEFA Champions League action, per WhoScored.com.

Robben's pace and trickery will dovetail well with target man Luuk de Jong's aerial strength. The PSV Eindhoven striker is adept at playing with his back to goal and releasing runners with clever knock-downs and flicks.

However, the strength of Blind's squad is in midfield. In particular, a Premier League duo offers all the smarts, technique and energy this team needs to dominate in Luxembourg.

Southampton schemer Jordy Clasie and Liverpool workhorse Georginio Wijnaldum are a classy pair who form the backbone of this team. Wijnaldum is an often underrated figure, but opponents overlook his late runs, passing quality and eye for goal at their peril.

Blind has also called up another Premier League midfield duo. Swansea City's Leroy Fer and Middlesbrough man Marten de Roon have been added to cover injuries, according to Michael Bell of Football-Oranje.

This is a game the Netherlands should win with room to spare. The nation has underachieved on Blind's watch, failing to qualify for UEFA Euro 2016. Now's the time to add impetus to their World Cup qualifying campaign.
