Donald Trump and Joe Biden have gone head-to-head in the final presidential debate of the 2020 US election.

Following one of the most chaotic and, at times, perplexing debates in modern US history earlier this month, the Republican and Democratic nominees faced off for one last time.

The exchange started shortly after 2am and took place in Nashville, Tennessee, with less than two weeks to go until election day.

It comes after the second planned debate was cancelled following Mr Trump's coronavirus diagnosis, with the two candidates instead partaking in town hall events on competing television networks.

What to expect from the final Biden v Trump presidential debate?
