Northern Ireland team for Euro 2020 qualifier against Estonia confirmed

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill has confirmed his starting line-up for tonight's Euro 2020 qualifier against Estonia .

It is a crunch fixture in Tallinn that O'Neill is targeting maximum points from.

And the international boss has gone with Liam Boyce in attack in the hope the Burton Albion man can deliver the goals needed.

Boyce gets the nod ahead of Josh Magennis, a player O'Neill has regularly turned to in big games.

Meanwhile, Oxford United winger Gavin Whyte gets a first competitive start in the green jersey, reward for the brilliant debut season he had in England.

Stuart Dallas will operate on the other flank in a new-look attack.

Hearts defender Michael Smith comes in at right-back, with Norwich City's Jamal Lewis on the left.

There are no surprises throughout the remainder of the team with Jonny Evans and Craig Cathcart in the heart of defence.

The midfield trio is made up of captain Steven Davis, George Saville and Paddy McNair.
