Who are the ITV commentators, pundits and presenters for Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia?

Everton.

Saudi Arabia and Uruguay will get their World Cup campaigns up and running on Monday evening when they meet in Miami.

The two sides clash after Spain and Cape Verde get Group H underway earlier in the day in what promises to be a fascinating group.

Led by former Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa, two-time winners Uruguay will look to get off to a fast start against a Saudi side whose only foray into the World Cup knockout stages came when the tournament was last played in the USA, back in 1994.

The match kicks off at 11pm UK time, with live coverage available on ITV1 and online at ITVX. Laura Woods will be at the helm in the ITV studio, where she will be joined by pundits Duncan Ferguson, Karen Carney and Jobi McAnuff.

Former Everton striker Ferguson won seven caps for Scotland amid an international career that was marred by injury and disputes with the SFA, meaning he played at just one major tournament in Euro 1992, and has now moved into punditry since his last management job at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Carney won 144 England caps during her 15-year Lionesses career, playing in nine major international tournaments.

Among these were four World Cups, including the 2015 edition, which was played in Canada and saw Carney's side reach the semi-finals.

Joining Ferguson and Carney in the studio is former Crystal Palace, Watford and Reading midfielder Jobi McAnuff.

The 44-year-old's international career saw him turn out 32 times for Jamaica and he completes the panel who will run the rule over this Group H clash.

The match kicks off at 11pm UK time, in that spot which seems designed to give viewers on this side of the Atlantic a nightly dilemma on how much sleep they need to function on.

Joe Speight will lead commentary duties at Miami Stadium, the home of the Miami Dolphins and known as Hard Rock Stadium outside of this World Cup.

Joining Speight in the commentary box will be Lucy Ward, a voice familiar to many through her regular work on TNT Sports.

Following this clash, Uruguay's next match sees them take on Cape Verde in Miami on Sunday, shortly after Saudi Arabia take on Spain in Atlanta.
