Man City shot stopper Marie Hourihane starts in goal, while Wexford striker Rianna Jarrett is named on the bench.
Bell’s side currently sit second in Group 3, with kick-off against third-placed Norway at Tallaght Stadium coming up at 5.30pm.
Ireland began their qualifying campaign in tremendous fashion, defeating Northern Ireland before beating Slovakia home and away, then securing a hard-fought 0-0 draw away to European champions Holland last November.
A 2-0 defeat to the Dutch back in April was Ireland’s first loss of the campaign, with Bell’s side looking to get back to winning ways this evening aiming to become the first Irish Women’s National Team to qualify for a World Cup.
