Darren Randolph: Only because he's been playing since October 2015 and Rob Elliot, whether he's at a higher standard right now or not, is a bigger risk bringing him in for such an important clash, not knowing the backline as well as Randolph does.
Cyrus Christie: He's playing really well.
Shane Duffy: He's a monster.
Ciaran Clark: These two are now ahead of Keogh and O'Shea.
Stephen Ward: The most underrated player in the squad. Hasn't made a mistake in a long time, he's sharp, he's smart, he's steady.
David Meyler: We don't need to get into this again.
Robbie Brady: Better to have him further forward than at full back.
Jeff Hendrick: He's back with a bang. Confident with such a tidy goal at Everton. Unleash him.
Wes Hoolahan: Obviously.
James McClean: Better in this role than he is in that narrow midfield. He's played there before and really excelled. He offers energy, stretches backlines, fights for shit balls and can make it a midfield five when defending. He's the best replacement for Walters.
Shane Long: Would somebody ever play this man a pass that might set up a chance for him?Explore more on these topics:
