What happened in the England game?

1732: Shambles, absolute shambles. Horrible mistake by Rio Ferdinand gives Artem Milevskiy a clean run on goal, and he pokes the ball past Rob Green and draws the foul. Clear penalty for Ukraine, and Green - largely thanks to Ferdinand's moment of madness - is sent off.

Italy (probable): Buffon; Zambrotta, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, Grosso; De Rossi, Palombo; Camoranesi, Pirlo, Di Natale; Iaquinta

That was Italy's probably line up. No idea of the actual team though. It's apparently a 4-2-3-1, but don't be surprised if it is a 4-3-2-1.

Antonio Di Natale and Vincenzo Iaquinta lead the way in Croke Park as Italy face the Republic of Ireland.

The Azzurri have Fabio Cannavaro out on a ban, but Marcello Lippi switches to a 4-2-3-1 system with Andrea Pirlo in an advanced role alongside Mauro Camoranesi and Di Natale.

They all support lone centre-forward Iaquinta, who has pushed Fiorentina’s Alberto Gilardino on to the bench.

Claudio Marchisio has been ruled out for six weeks following knee surgery this morning, so Sampdoria’s Angelo Palombo partners Daniele De Rossi.

Giovanni Trapattoni’s Ireland are without the injured Damien Duff, Darron Gibson and Steven Reid, so Liam Lawrence receives his first competitive start for his country.

Italy need only a point tonight to be sure of qualification for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

There is good news for the Republic, as their rivals for the play-off place – Bulgaria – are currently trailing 3-1 in Cyprus.

You can watch Ireland-Italy LIVE on Sky Sports 2 and online (viewing restrictions apply).

Republic of Ireland: Given; O’Shea, Dunne, St Ledger, Kilbane; Lawrence, Andrews, Whelan, McGeady; Keane, Doyle

Italy: Buffon; Zambrotta, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, Grosso; De Rossi, Palombo; Camoranesi, Pirlo, Di Natale; Iaquinta
