Just one change for Irish

Under-21s: Don Givens makes just one change to the side that won Ireland's opening game of the new European Under-21 Championship 3-0 in Kilkenny on Friday night with Notts County goalkeeper Wayne Henderson coming back at the expense of Brian Murphy.

Henderson, who started all of Ireland's other games this year, was originally named in the team to face the Cypriots but had to withdraw from the game at the last minute because of a thigh strain.

"Brian didn't do anything wrong the other night but Wayne has done well for us and he would have played but for the injury," said Givens.

"Otherwise it's the same team because I was happy with the performance against Cyprus, they played well and it's mainly a question of building on that now."

Four of tonight's starting line up played in last year's 2-0 win over the Swiss thanks to Givens' policy of introducing new faces as soon as possible once it becomes clear that qualification wasn't possible.

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND: Henderson (Notts County); Kelly (Tottenham Hotspur), Fitzgerald (Blackburn Rovers), McCarthy (Manchester City), Capper (Scarborough); McGeady (Celtic), Potter (Liverpool), Whelan (Sheffield Wednesday), Kearney (Cork City); Elliott (Sunderland), Doyle (Cork City).
