Great Britain's third game of their home IIHF world Championships Division 1A campaign sees them face Lithuania on Tuesday evening at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham.

After two wins and a rest day, Pete Russell\s team face the group's joint-basement side as they look to keep their hopes of promotion firmly in their own hands. Lithuania have lost both of their games so far, having scored only two goals and conceded 10. 

Lithuania have proved to be tricky opponents for GB across a number of years. They won both friendlies in the run-up to the 2018 World Championships where GB won promotion to the elite group, and while in competitive meetings GB have won the last two, long-term fans will remember the 3-2 defeat in 2015 which cost GB promotion to Division 1A. 

Earlier in the day, leaders Italy will face third-placed Poland. The result of that game could go a long way to determining what Great Britain need to achieve in their remaining fixtures to secure promotion.

You can follow the game live on Viaplay Xtra with Aaron Murphy and former GB player Paul Adey, with faceoff at 7.30pm. Viaplay Xtra is available on Sky channel 420 and Virgin 553.
