Giovanni Trapattoni has named his Ireland team to face Sweden in tomorrow's vital 2014 World Cup qualifier.

On paper at least, Trap has reverted back to a 4-4-2 with Robbie Keane partnering Shane Long up front and James McCarthy and Glenn Whelan named as the midfield two. However after the frirendly against Wales, Trap hinted that he may go with something resembling a 4-4-1-1 with Keane dropping deeper.

James McClean has been favoured on the left flank, while Jon Walters plays on the right wing, reprising the role he played against Sweden during the 0 - 0 draw in Stockholm.

Fitness issues surrounding Richard Dunne, Marc Wilson and David Forde have been allayed, as all three have been named in the starting.

 

Republic of Ireland team to play Sweden: David Forde, Seamus Coleman, Richard Dunne, John O'Shea, Marc Wilson, Jon Walters, James McCarthy, Glenn Whelan, James McClean, Robbie Keane, Shane Long.
