Jayson Molumby comes into the Ireland starting XI as Heimir Hallgrimsson made one change for this afternoon's World Cup qualifier against Hungary.

Jack Taylor drops to the bench as Molumby returns after serving a suspension for the vital victory over Portugal in Dublin on Thursday night.

Otherwise, it’s the same side that secured the three points at Aviva Stadium going into this must-win match in Budapest.

Nathan Collins, once again, captains the side and will sit in the centre of defence alongside Dara O’Shea and Jake O’Brien, with Seamus Coleman and Liam Scales slotting in at wingback on the right and left respecitively.

Molumby will sit in front in midfield alongside Josh Cullen, Finn Azaz and Chiedozie Ogbene, while Troy Parrott, the goalscoring hero on Thursday again leads the line.

Hungary: Denes Dibusz; Attila Szalai, Willi Orban, Loic Nego, Milos Kerkez; Andras Schafer, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alex Toth; Daniel Lukacs, Roland Sallai, Barnabas Varga

Republic of Ireland: Caoimhin Kelleher; Seamus Coleman, Liam Scales, Dara O'Shea, Nathan Collins, Jake O'Brien; Josh Cullen, Jayson Molumby, Finn Azaz, Chiedozie Ogbene; Troy Parrott

Referee: Espen Eskas (NOR)
