As Friday's kick off draws closer, we continue our previews for the AFC Asian Cup 2023 with a look at Group C featuring Iran, UAE, Hong Kong and Palestine.

John McAuley, from The National, joins us from Dubai to preview the Emirates campaign and discuss whether Paolo Bento's side can surprise in Qatar.

We also discuss whether Iran can deliver on their potential, the return of Hong Kong to the international stage and the remarkable resilience shown by Palestine.

Plus, we hear exclusively from Palestinian midfielder Mohammed Rashid on the daily struggle his team faces as they prepare for a tournament against the backdrop of the ongoing war in Gaza.
