The Republic of Ireland welcome Gibraltar to Dublin on Monday night, knowing that a victory is needed if they wish to keep their slim Euro 2024 qualification hopes alive.
The Boys in Green suffered a demoralising defeat away to Greece on Friday, and the pressure has since piled on head coach Stephen Kenny, who finds his team adrift with zero points in Group B.

Team news & squads
Ireland team news
Matt Doherty was shown a red card at the end of the defeat to Greece, so there will be an enforced change at right wing-back, with Preston North End utility man Alan Browne the most likely candidate to be called upon by Kenny.
The Ireland boss withdrew Will Smallbone, Adam Idah and Callum O'Dowda early on in the game against Greece, and he is expected to make a few changes to the starting team based on their performances.
Veteran campaigner James McClean may come in at left wing-back for his 100th cap, while Burnley striker Michael Obafemi will be pushing for a start in attack. West Brom captain Dara O'Shea could be called upon to replace Darragh Lenihan, who is relatively inexperienced at international level and was among those criticised following the second Greek goal on Friday.
Predicted Ireland starting lineup: Bazunu; Collins, Egan, O'Shea; Browne, McClean; Cullen, Molumby, Hendrick, Johnston; Ferguson
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Bazunu, Travers, Kelleher |
| Defenders: | Egan, O'Shea, Collins, Lenihan, Scales |
| Midfielders: | McClean, O'Dowda, Sykes, Hendrick, Browne, Cullen, Molumby, Knight, McGrath, Smallbone, Taylor, Johnston |
| Forwards: | Ferguson, Obafemi, Parrott, Idah |
Gibraltar team news
Gibraltar may have lost 3-0 to France, but the margin of the defeat, coupled with the overall performance, has been a source of optimism, with the official national team's Twitter account declaring: "A brilliant effort from Gibraltar, who continuously frustrated the former world champions and held strong throughout the 90 [minutes]."
Veteran defender Roy Chipolina will captain the team, while 41-year-old Lee Casciaro is expected to lead the forward line once again, though Wycombe Wanderers forward Tjay De Barr will be pushing for a start.
As a result, Liam Walker was suspended for the France game and was not included in the most recent squad, but Cadiz youngster Nicholas Pozo is in line to feature.
Predicted Gibraltar starting lineup: Coleing; Sergeant, R. Chipolina, Lopes, Olivero, Britto; Ronan, Hartman, Pozo, El Hmidi; Casciaro.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Coleing, Banda, Hankins |
| Defenders: | R. Chipolina, J. Chipolina, Sergeant, Olivero, Annesley, Mouelhi, Britto, Jolley, Lopes, Santos, Hartman |
