Stephen Kenny is still looking for his first win as Ireland manager a year into his tenure and a win over Luxembourg is a much-needed boost to their 2022 World Cup hopes.
The Boys in Green lost 3-2 in their opening group fixture, falling to Serbia on Wednesday while Luxembourg fell 1-0 to tournament hosts Qatar in a friendly.
Luxembourg impressed during the Nations League last year and will feel that they can come away with a positive result against a struggling Irish outfit.

When is it?
The fixture will kick-off at 7:45pm GMT at the Aviva Stadium.
How can I watch it?
