Under-21 boss Lee Carsley, a former Ireland international, has been handed the job on an interim basis following the resignation of Gareth Southgate.

It will be fascinating to see how he tinkers with a team who reached the final of a major competition only a few months ago, albeit in slightly underwhelming fashion.

Quite how long the Carsley era lasts remains to be seen but a good start in Dublin today would do his chances of landing the job on a long-term basis no harm at all.

Here’s everything you need to know about where to watch the game this evening.
