West Brom defender Dara O'Shea will make his Ireland debut this evening as the Boys in Green take on Finland in Helsinki at 5pm.
The 21-year-old impressed as the Baggies sealed promotion to the Premier League last season and was a late call-up to the Ireland squad from the Under-21 side to replace John Egan.
Sean Maguire and Daryl Horgan also get the nod to start having been called up last week for Sunday's Nations League clash with Wales and tonight's fixture.
Darren Randolph starts in between the sticks, with O’Shea joining captain Shane Duffy in the heart of defence.
Matt Doherty returns to right-back after filling in as centre-back cover against Wales - while Enda Stevens is named at left-back.
Jayson Molumby retains his place in midfield after his Man of the Match display against the Welsh, he’ll play alongside Conor Hourihane and Jeff Hendrick.
Aaron Connolly returns on the left wing after missing last week’s Slovakia loss, while Horgan makes his first Ireland start under Stephen Kenny on the right flank.
The duo will play either side of Preston North End striker Maguire.
IRELAND XI to play Finland: Randolph; Doherty, Duffy (c), O'Shea, Stevens; Hourihane, Molumby, Hendrick; Horgan, Maguire, Connolly.
