The candidate of the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee, Donald Trump, will take to the stage in Las Vegas tonight for the final debate in an increasingly bitter race for the U.S. presidency.
While polls show Mr Trump is losing in key battleground states after facing a slew of sexual assault allegations, Mrs Clinton remains unpopular with many US voters and has faced more bad headlines about her use of a private email server.
Most Americans will cast their votes on November 8.
Millions are expected to tune into the third and final debate at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas which gets under way at 21:00 EDT (01:00 GMT) and will be moderated by Fox News journalist Chris Wallace.
Six Topics
The two candidates will discuss six topics: national debt and health and social benefits, immigration, the economy, the Supreme Court, foreign flashpoints and their fitness to be president.
In recent days Mr Trump has raised concerns about the election process itself, warning the vote is “absolutely rigged” with “large-scale voter fraud” taking place.
His remarks prompted a scathing response from President Barack Obama, who said the Republican challenger should “stop whining” and canvas for votes.
The U.S. President also said the claims could weaken and betray America.
BBC reports that Mr Trump has invited President Obama’s estranged half-brother, Malik Obama – one of his supporters – as a guest.
He also invited Patricia Smith, whose son was killed in an attack on the US diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012, while Mrs Clinton was US secretary of state.
In contrast to Mr Trump, Mrs Clinton has kept a low profile ahead of the debate to prepare for the showdown.
Her spokesman said the Democratic nominee was ready for whatever “scorched-earth” tactics her rival might try.
Mrs Clinton is likely to face questions about a batch of hacked emails from the account of her campaign boss, released by Wikileaks, that her rival has seized on.
