Martin O’Neill has named his team to play Georgia.

The Republic of Ireland take on the eastern Europeans in a World Cup qualifier at the Aviva stadium, in what will be the third game between the two sides in three years.

Ireland beat Georgia 2-1 thanks to a last-minute winner from Aiden McGeady, in 2014, and Jon Walters got the only goal in Dublin last September.

Walters starts tonight, with Shane Duffy coming into the team, and wearing number seven. The Brighton defender partners Ciaran Clark in central defence. Seamus Coleman captains the side.

It looks as though the team will line-out in a 4-3-3 formation.
