The hosts will be without Conor Bradley, due to suspension, after picking up a booking in Friday’s Slovakia victory. The Liverpool defender had been instrumental in the 2-0 triumph, earning widespread praise for his display. Brodie Spencer from Oxford United is poised to step into the right-back position in Bradley’s absence.
Bailey Peacock-Farrell retains the goalkeeper’s jersey with regular number one Pierce Charles still recovering from a shoulder injury. The defensive absence of Ciaron Brown through injury continues. O’Neill is expected to maintain the successful three-man defensive structure that proved effective against Slovakia, featuring Trai Hume, Daniel Ballard and Paddy McNair.
Windsor Park has become a fortress for the Green and White Army, who have avoided defeat in seven consecutive home internationals, including impressive displays against quality opposition like Switzerland and Denmark.
