Kasey McAteer and Jack Taylor have named in the starting XI as the Republic of Ireland face Senegal in a friendly international at Aviva Stadium.
The duo will start their first international match in the green jersey, as Heimir Hallgrimsson is looking at his options ahead of September's World Cup qualifying campaign.
Both Taylor and McAteer will line out in a midfield anchored by Jason Knight with the former linking the play alongside Will Smallbone in an attack-minded formation, while the latter is expected to fill a wide role, most likely on the right with Ryan Manning out on the left.
Adam Idah will lead the line following an impressive 20-goal season at Celtic, while Evan Ferguson starts on the bench. Troy Parrott is also on the bench, however, the striker was ill midweek and it remains to be seen if he will see any action tonight.
Nathan Collins, once again, captains the side and sits in the centre of defence alongside Dara O'Shea, while experienced pair Matt Doherty and Robbie Brady will play right and left back respectively.
As expected, Caoimhín Kelleher will start in goal for the first of two games, with Ireland travelling to face Luxembourg on Tuesday.
Republic of Ireland: Caoimhín Kelleher; Matt Doherty, Nathan Collins, Dara O'Shea, Robbie Brady; Jason Knight, Jack Taylor, Will Smallbone, Kasey McAteer, Ryan Manning; Adam Idah
Senegal: Yehvann Diouf; Antoine Mendy, Abdoulaye Seck, Abdou Diallo, Ismail Jakobs; Lamine Camara Mamadou, Krepin Diatta, Habib Diarra; Iliman Ndiaye, Abdallah Sima, Boulaya Dia
