No chances.
With four games left in the Republic of Ireland’s qualifying group for Euro 2016, Martin O’Neill isn’t mucking around.
The Irish boss has led with a strong line-up for the trip to Gibraltar this evening and they’re there to get business done. Plain and simple.
Despite thumping the same side in the reverse fixture with seven goals to spare, the Derry man isn’t taking any risks as he fields a good side for Ireland’s penultimate away clash of the campaign.
Cyrus Christie makes the team with Ciaran Clark also joining the backline.
Robbie Keane is selected up top though, back to haunt the same side he scored a hat-trick against last time out.

It looks like a diamond for the boys in green – the same we started against Scotland and did so well.
Christie and Brady will be required to offer the width as Whelan holds the midfield with McCarthy and Hendrick just ahead.
Hoolahan should play off the front two of Keane and Walters.
