The Republic of ireland face the old enemy when they travel to Wembley for their final Uefa Nations League game of the campaign against England on Saturday.
It’s been a mixed group stage for the Boys In Green under new manager Heimir Hallgrimsson, who has overseen defeats to England and Greece.
But the former Iceland boss has ensured Ireland will avoid automatic relegation to League C thanks to two wins over Finland in Group B2. They will go into the relegation play-offs in March.
Their immediate sights are set on England, who rebounded from defeat to Greece last month with wins over Finland and in the reverse fixture against the Greeks in Athens.
