Ireland take on Sweden tonight in a vital World Cup qualifier at the Aviva.

Millwall's David Forde will start in goals while Richard Dunne and John O'Shea are paired together in the centre of defence with Wilson and O'Shea in the full back positions.

Mc Carthy and Whelan are in the centre while Walters and Mc Lean are on the wings with Shane Long supporting Robbie Keane up front.

In the groups other game Germany host Austria and Kazakhstan host Faroe Islands, ourselves Sweden and Austria are tied on 11 points while the Germans have 16.

I caught up with ex Ireland winger Ray Houghton and spoke about the team selected but first  about last nights Euro 88 anniversary dinner with the F.A.I and John Giles foundation.
