O’Neill has made five changes to the side that started in Thursday’s friendly against Northern Ireland at the Aviva Stadium, which ended in a goalless draw.
Richard Keogh and Kevin Long have been restored to the defence, with Darragh Lenihan and the injured John Egan making way. Enda Stevens will make his first competitive start as a left-wing back, replacing the suspended James McClean.
Cyrus Christie looks likely to operate in midfield following Glenn Whelan’s international farewell. Aiden O’Brien will lead the attack, as Callum Robinson drops to the bench.
Martin O’Neill is expected to persist with a 3-5-2 formation for the clash with the Danes, who have already secured top spot in the group.
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND: Darren Randolph; Richard Keogh, Shane Duffy, Kevin Long; Seamus Coleman (captain), Jeff Hendrick, Cyrus Christie, Robbie Brady, Enda Stevens; Callum O’Dowda; Aiden O’Brien.
Subs: Colin Doyle, Caoimhín Kelleher, Darragh Lenihan, Jimmy Dunne, David Meyler, Shaun Williams, Harry Arter, Conor Hourihane, Ronan Curtis, Callum Robinson, Scott Hogan, Michael Obafemi.
