While there’s no points at stake, Martin O’Neill has a golden opportunity to experiment against our neutral buddies.
The Boys In Green take on Switzerland in a Good Friday friendly at the Aviva. It’s the first step as O’Neill ramps up his preparations for Euro 2016 this summer.
Jeff Hendrick, Harry Arter, Anthony Pilkington, Robbie Keane and Jon Walters will all miss the match through injury, which gives some of the players on the periphery of the squad an opportunity to make an impact before Martin O’Neill makes his decision on the chosen 30 for the tournament.
We asked you what starting XI Martin O’Neill should choose for this Good Friday clash.
Here’s what you came up with:

Martin O’Neill will wait until shortly before kick off before announcing the real starting XI. There’s a few decent tips here if he’s short of ideas.
