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!
