Séamus Coleman and Robbie Brady are both set to be included, while QPR midfielder Harvey Vale is in line for a first call-up.

Josh Cullen. Evan Ferguson, and Mikey Johnston are all ruled out through injury.

A win in Prague next Thursday would set up a winner-takes-all final against either Denmark or North Macedonia at the Aviva Stadium.

 

Liverpool produced a second leg comeback to progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The Reds beat Galatasaray 4-nil at Anfield last night, to go through 4-1 on aggregate, and now face holders Paris Saint-Germain.

 

Tottenham recorded a first win under manager Igor Tudor, but their 3-2 win at home to Atletico Madrid wasn't enough, as the Spanish side were 5-2 winners in the first leg.

Newcastle's 7-2 defeat away to Barcelona means the Magpies lost that tie 8-3 over the two legs.

From 8 o'clock, Aston Villa host Lille in the second leg of their tie, where they carry a 1-0 lead into that one.
