Ghana need a win to make sure of a place in the knockout phase, although a draw would be enough if Portugal avoid defeat by South Korea.
Anything less than a win would see Uruguay crash out, and even a victory might not be enough if South Korea beat Portugal - in which case their fate would be decided by goal difference.
This was always going to a grudge match after Luis Suarez's infamous handball 12 years ago, but the stakes are now even higher.
Kick-off is at 3pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch World Cup 2022 wherever you are.
Team news
Jordan Ayew, one of five members of this Ghana squad who plays Premier League football, keeps his place in the XI after his excellent performance against South Korea.
Alidu Seidu comes in for Brighton's Tariq Lamptey at right-back, with Reading's Baba Rahman (who is on loan from Chelsea) in for Jonathan Mensah on the opposite side.
Luis Suarez is the biggest name in the Uruguay squad and a villain from the last meeting with Ghana in 2010, when he controversially handballed a goalbound shot on the line in the final minute of extra time.
The former Liverpool striker is included in the XI for this match after starting on the bench in the defeat against Portugal. Manchester United's on-loan winger Facundo Pellistri (who is at Alaves in Spain) and Flamengo midfielder Giorgian de Arrascaeta also come in. Diego Godin, Matias Vecino and Edinson Cavani drop to the bench.
Ghana XI: Zigi, Seidu Amartey, Salisu, Baba, Partey, Abdul Samed, Kudus, Jordan Ayew, Andre Ayew, Inaki Williams.
Uruguay XI: Rochet, Varela, Gimenez, Coates, Olivera, Pellistri, Valverde, Bentancur, De Arrascaeta, Nunez, Suarez.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch World Cup 2022 football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for the World Cup 2022, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the World Cup 2022, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
