Ireland face make or break tie with Serbia

The Republic of Ireland face a make or break World Cup qualifier against Group D leaders Serbia at the Aviva Stadium tonight.

Martin O’Neil’s men will look to bounce back from Saturday’s disappointing draw in Georgia, with a win that would move them to the top of the table.

It is hoped that Norwich playmaker Wes Hoolahan can overcome a tight groin issue.

Aiden McGeady is also an injury doubt due to a hamstring problem.

Kick off is at 7.45.

At the same time Austria entertain Georgia and Wales are away to Moldova.

The Welsh lie third in Group D, just two points behind Ireland.

Northern Ireland are on course for a place in the play offs, have secured second place in Group C.

Goals from Jonny Evans and Chris Brunt handed them a 2-nil win over the Czech Republic at Windsor Park last night.

England are five points clear at the top of Group F, having come from behind to beat Slovakia 2-1 at Wembley.

Scotland beat Malta 2-nil at Hampden Park to close to within a point of Slovakia, who are second.
