The race for top spot promises to see a thrilling end with Iraq - on 17 points - two ahead of Iran while Bahrain will need to defeat Hong Kong by a huge margin and hope for Iran to lose to secure second place as Group C goes down to the wire.

Top spot will secure a place in the final round of the Asian Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, while a strong finish may also see the group's runners-up through.

Philippines, meanwhile, will be aiming to end their campaign with a win against Maldives after the Southeast Asian side confirmed their place in the final round of the Asian Qualifiers for the AFC Asian Cup China 2023 after securing third place in Group A.

Victory is the only option available for Jordan if they are to stand a chance of sealing one of the five places available in the final round of the Asian Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 with Australia having already sealed top spot as well as a place in the AFC Asian Cup China 2023 Finals.

Should Jordan lose, a win for Kuwait over Chinese Taipei in Tuesday's later match could see them finishing second but whether that will be enough to advance to the final round of the Asian Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will depend on results elsewhere.

Unbeaten Saudi Arabia can top the group with a draw on Tuesday, while Uzbekistan must avenge their defeat in the reverse fixture if they are to overtake their hosts on the final day of Group D.

Meanwhile, Yemen have an opportunity to leapfrog both Singapore and Palestine into third place should they defeat the latter at King Fahd International Stadium in the second Group D fixture.

While Qatar may have confirmed themselves as the Group E winners, Oman are well placed to advance to the final round of the Asian Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup 2022, and adding another three points to their current haul of 15 surely enough to take them through.

India, meanwhile, only need to avoid defeat to confirm third spot with the South Asian side on six points, one ahead of Afghanistan.

The come-from-behind victory – in which Son scored the winner from the spot – ensured that the Taeguk Warriors finished the second round of Asian Qualifiers unbeaten, having dropped just two points from their six matches.

But, despite winning all three of their games and scoring 12 goals in the process since Group H resumed in early June, the Tottenham Hotspur forward believes there is plenty of room for improvement.

The Taeguk Warriors had all but secured top spot in Group H ahead of their final match against Lebanon at Goyang Stadium but prior to the game Portuguese coach Bento had highlighted the importance of rounding off the second round of Asian Qualifiers on a high.

While the East Asians dominated from the off, they fell behind to Soony Saad's 12th-minute goal before responding after the interval with Song Min-kyu's leveller and a penalty from Son Heung-min to ensure they finished six points ahead of second-placed Lebanon.
