As expected, captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic leads the line for the Swedes, aiming to add to his 62 international goals. Swedish coach Erik Harden selected Emil Nordberg out on the wing where he is expected to play a key role.

O'Neill opted for Ciara Clark to partner captain John O'Shea in the middle of the defence with Daren Randolph keeping his spot as first-choice goalkeeper. Keane is on the bench.
