Ah - no Collins!

The Republic of Ireland make 10 changes from their 1-1 draw with Switzerland.

Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers, 20, and West Ham midfielder Josh Cullen, 23 - who is on loan at Charlton - make their debuts.

As expected John Egan captains the side and Conor Hourihane starts at left-back.

There are three potential debutants on the bench, Manchester United goalkeeper Kieran O'Hara, who is on loan at Burton, Shamrock Rovers playmaker Jack Byrne and Luton striker James Collins.

Republic of Ireland boss Mick McCarthy is set to make a number of changes from Thursday's draw against Switzerland for tonight's friendly with Bulgaria.

With Thursday's goal hero David McGoldrick and his Sheffield United team-mate Callum Robinson ruled out, Luton's former Northampton striker James Collins may earn a debut.

Collins and Scott Hogan are the only recognised strikers left in the squad.

Portsmouth's Ronan Curtis is another forward option while Bournemouth keeper Mark Travers could earn his first cap.

Sheffield United defender John Egan will captain the Republic at the Aviva Stadium while Aston Villa midfielder Conor Hourihane is expected to switch to left-back.

No, they're not Bernard...

Kosovo's Swiss manager Bernard Challandes wants his players to dream they can extend their unbeaten run to 16 games in his side's first meeting against England.

Only accepted as a member of Uefa and Fifa in 2016, Kosovo have not lost in almost two years - a run of 15 games.

"We are Kosovo and we are here against one of the best teams in the world, in my opinion - the best team in the world," Challandes said.

"I think it is in my philosophy that if we don't dream it is unnecessary to play such games, we should dream and do all that is possible to disturb England.

"If I say 'we come to win', I think a lot of people think that is pretentious; if I say 'it is not possible to win against England', I must change my job."

England boss Gareth Southgate expects a "completely different challenge" from Kosovo to the one his side faced against Bulgaria on Saturday.

England host Kosovo in Euro 2020 qualifying at Southampton's St Mary's having beaten Bulgaria 4-0.

"It will be a very different style of game," said Southgate.

"Kosovo will be very high pressing, hard working, a more attacking threat than we faced on Saturday. Maybe there will be more space to play up front."

And straight into breaking team news - three changes from the side that beat Bulgaria for England.

In come full-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ben Chilwell for Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose. And Jadon Sancho replaces Marcus Rashford in the front three.

It's been 10 years since England lost a qualifier for either the World Cup or the Euros.

It's been two years since Kosovo lost a game - and only three years since they were admitted into Fifa.
