The road to the World Cup starts here.

Martin O'Neill has named his starting XI to face Serbia and as expected Seamus Coleman is fit to start at right-back and captains the side. John O'Shea and Richard Keogh are the centre-back pairing with Stephen Ward at left-back. With James McCarthy ruled out through injury, Glenn Whelan will occupy his familiar sitting in front of the back-four and he's joined by Burnley's new recruit Jeff Hendrick, Robbie Brady, James McClean and Jon Walters. Shane Long leads the line. Kick-off is at 19:45. COYBIG! https://twitter.com/FAIreland/status/772851000902348800
