SOCCER

A place at next year's European Championships is on offer for the Republic of Ireland under-21s tonight.

Their play-off tie with Israel is level at a goal apiece heading into the second leg in Tel Aviv.

Striker Evan Ferguson is an injury doubt for the visitors, with last week's goal-scorer nursing an ankle problem.

Kick off is at 6.15pm.

England manager Gareth Southgate says he has to back his "best and most experienced players" after a few high-profile errors in their 3-3 Nations League draw with Germany.

Goalkeeper Nick Pope's drop allowed the visitors to equalise - while Harry Maguire gave away a penalty at Wembley.

Maguire's lack of game time for Manchester United was an issue before the international break.

But Southgate's supporting him:
