Quiz: Name the 8 Irish players who have scored in the Premier League this season

Stephen Kenny's Republic of Ireland side have been struggling for goals in recent month, but eight Irish players have found the back of the net in the Premier League so far this season.

In fact, three of them scored for their respective clubs in this week's midweek games.

Of the eight, one has not played for the Ireland senior team. We'll give you a clue for that one - he's a defender.

You can do the quiz below. You need to enter each player's full name.

All of the above will be hoping to be in Kenny's squad for Ireland's World Cup qualifiers in March.

The Boys in Green begin their qualifying campaign away to Serbia on March 24 before facing Luxembourg in Dublin three days later. Portugal and Azerbaijan are also in Ireland's group.

Speaking following the draw last week, Kenny said: “It's an interesting draw, Portugal being European champions and Nations League holders, they have great pedigree.

“Serbia, on paper, are very strong and yet they haven't qualified for the Euros. Luxembourg, checking their results, they are a vastly improved team.

“Azerbaijan are a bit of an unknown quantity. We’ll have to prepare accordingly. It's interesting being a five team group rather than six.”
