Keogh and O'Shea will make up the defensive partnership with Hendrick and Whelan anchoring the midfield. With O'Shea and Coleman carrying knocks, Martin O'Neill will be hoping that Serbia don't have much pace.
Serbia, who have Kolorov and Matic suspended, start the following XI.
Serbia XI v Ireland: Rajkovic, Rukavina, Gudelj, Nastasic, Ivanovic, Mitrovic, Tadic, Mladenovic, Milivojevic, Kostic, Vukovic. #SerIre
