Cristiano Ronaldo leads the attack for Portugal as Group I's leaders face an Armenia side still looking for their first win in the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been named as the lone striker in Portugal's starting lineup for their Euro 2016 qualifier against Armenia this evening.

Group I's bottom side are captained by 40-year-old goalkeeper Roman Berezovsky, who wins his 93rd international cap this evening.
