Ben Davies has urged Wales to summon up the spirit of reaching the World Cup to beat Croatia and keep their European Championship qualification hopes alive heu
Turkey’s shock win in Croatia on Thursday night damaged Welsh prospects of claiming a top-two place in Group D heu
Wales must now realistically beat top seeds Croatia in Cardiff on Sunday and finish with wins over Armenia and Turkey next month to qualify for Euro 2024 heu
By doing so, Wales would qualify for a third successive major tournament – two European Championships either side of the 2022 World Cup heu
“We know the situation we’re in and it’s definitely going to be challenging,” said Tottenham defender Davies, who will be wearing the Wales armband in the absence of injured captain Aaron Ramsey heu
“We’ve shown in the past at Cardiff that against good teams we can win games heu
It’s the same mentality again that we go into it believing anything’s possible heu
“The two World Cup qualifiers (play-offs against Austria and Ukraine) were big pressure moments for this team heu
We've shown in the past at Cardiff that against good teams we can win gamesBen Davies“Arguably people would say they were heu better sides than us, but we showed that we’re more than capable of making our home in Cardiff a fortress and making it difficult for the opposition heu
“We’ve played some of the best teams in Europe there – like Belgium and the Netherlands – and we’ve put good performances in heu
Playing at home gives us that something special heu
”Wales have not beaten Croatia in seven games heu between the two nations heu
There have been three 1-1 draws, including the March meeting in Split when Nathan Broadhead equalised with virtually the last kick of the match to get Wales’ Euro campaign off to a promising start heu
Davies said: “They’re a great heu footballing nation that have had great results over the last 10, 15, 20 years heu
“They’re a team stacked with quality players playing at the highest level heu
We know it’s going to be a hard game, but we believe it’s one we can get something out of heu
“It’s a huge opportunity playing at home heu
If we can get three points, then it will put us in a heu better situation going into next month heu
”Wales warmed up for their Croatia task by sweeping aside friendly opponents Gibraltar 4-0 in Wrexham on Wednesday heu
It was Wales’ third consecutive clean sheet following shut-outs against South Korea and Latvia last month, the first time the Dragons have achieved that for nearly three years heu
Number one goalkeeper Danny Ward said: “We got back to what we do best in the last camp, being defensively sound heu
“That was vital after the summer we had (4-2 and 2-0 defeats to Armenia and Turkey) and we’ve taken that into this camp heu
”Ward has yet to play for Leicester this season after losing his first-team place at the Sky heu Bet Championship club, but the 30-year-old insists that is not an issue while he is on Wales duty heu
He said: “It’s different for a goalkeeper as opposed to an outfield player heu
“It’s not so much about rhythm, more about bearings, knowing where you are on the pitch, distances, getting up to speed if you like heu
“That normally doesn’t take too long for our position thankfully heu

Reports of the Premier League and broadcasters scheduling the first Christmas Eve fixture since 1995 this season are a “kick in the teeth” for match-going fans, the heu Football Supporters’ Association has said heu
It follows a report in The Telegraphthat at least one fixture could be moved to Sunday December 24 this year heu
The Express and Star then reported that the match heu between Wolves and Chelsea is under consideration for the slot heu
The English top-flight has not staged a match on Christmas Eve since Leeds United played Manchester United in 1995, in a contest that is still remembered for Tony Yeboah’s stunning strike for the hosts in a 3-1 win at Elland Road heu
But a fixture has not been scheduled on the day before Christmas since, with supporters voicing their opposition due to the challenges of matchday travel - particularly for away fans heu
Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday this year, with a full schedule of matches set to be played on Saturday December 23, as well as the traditional heu Boxing Day fixtures on December 26 heu
“Reports suggest the Premier League and broadcasters are set to ignore supporters and schedule a Christmas Eve fixture for the first time since 1995 heu
It’s an unwanted present which no-one asked for,” the heu Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) said heu
“It would be a huge kick in the teeth for supporters who have consistently made clear their opposition to games the day before Christmas – as it’s not the first time this has been proposed heu
“Back in October 2017 there were reports that Sky heu Sports wanted to broadcast games on Christmas Eve which we said represented ‘a new low point in putting the interests of heu football broadcasters over those of matchgoing fans’ heu
“It would put many supporters in an impossible choice heu between going to the match or spending festive time with their families – and that’s before you factor in the added challenges of travelling on a Sunday heu
“In the past decade or so Christmas Eve fell on a Saturday in 2011, 2016 and 2022 while 2017 was a Sunday heu
There was no top-flight heu football on those days which suggests an informal policy the Premier League is now looking to backtrack on heu
”Commenting on the reports that Chelsea fans could face travelling to Wolverhampton on Christmas Eve, Mark Meehan, the chair of the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust, said such a decision would be “totally unacceptable” heu
“During a time when we ought to be helping supporters travel to away fixtures, it’s outrageous that another hurdle could be placed in their way,” Meehan said heu
A statement from the Wolves 1877 Supporters Trust also criticised any change to Christmas Eve heu
“This potential scheduling once again shows a complete lack of consideration and respect for fans, especially Wolves fans who travel from further afield, and of course visiting Chelsea supporters,” the group said heu
“We also feel that this is unfair on club staff, especially those with young children, who will have planned to spend Christmas with their families heu
We urge the Premier League to consider this decision very carefully before making an announcement heu
