Pick of the Day
Live International Football, 7.00pm, RTÉ2
Streaming on RTÉ Player
Football's international break concludes for The Boys in Green with Gibraltar hosting Ireland (KO 7.45pm) at Estadio Algarve in Faro, Portugal.
Ireland claimed a 3-0 win when the sides met at Aviva Stadium in June thanks to goals from Mikey Johnston, Evan Ferguson and Adam Idah.
Wins have otherwise been hard to come by for Stephen Kenny's men in a difficult group containing the likes of France and the Netherlands, but they will expect nothing less than another convincing victory over the group minnows.
But after Friday's 2-0 defeat at home to Greece, it would appear that the mood is far from good in the Irish camp.

This week’s episode looks at the world of deliveries and the secret army behind them, showing the journey of an Amazon parcel before it reaches its destination and who is at the other end of a Deliveroo order.
In the modern world, pretty much anything can be delivered to your doorstep at the click of a button.
Delivery services are not new – from messenger boys to the travelling shops of rural Ireland - bikes, cars and vans have been used to get provisions and goods to consumers for decades.
But technology now makes it super easy for us to order a broader range of goods and services than ever before.
And could drone delivery disrupt the traditional models? The documentary features Irish company Manna Drone Delivery who are currently delivering coffees and groceries from the skies above Balbriggan.
The documentary also highlights how in this increasingly fast paced world, some deliveries still need the human touch, looking at the work of volunteer delivery drivers like Blood bikes and Meals on Wheels.

Steve Coogan has been impressive so far in this grim drama about the vile Jimmy Savile.

He further cemented his position of power by spearheading a fundraising campaign for Stoke Mandeville Hospital which gave him unprecedented political access.
This episode explores how Savile's status allowed him to hide in plain sight and to continue to silence the victims of his crimes.
