Josh Cullen was yesterday confirmed as available for the match by Fifa/Uefa despite a previous understanding that he was suspended, and he is in contention to start.
Gavin Bazunu had a slight back injury earlier in the week but is also set for selection as Kenny has a fully-fit squad to choose from.
As per the squad submitted to Uefa ahead of kick-off, Caoimhin Kelleher wears the number one jersey.
This will be the third meeting between the sides in all competitions, with the Boys in Green winning the previous two encounters, both of which came during the Euro 2012 qualification campaign.
