Harry Arter starts against Austria

The Ireland team to face Austria has been named ahead of their World Cup qualifier inside the hour.

Harry Arter will make his first competitive appearance against Austria at the Ernst-Happel Stadium at 5pm.

Dundalk's Daryl Horgan makes the bench but team-mate Andy Boyle misses out.

Ireland are level on points with group leaders Serbia after three games and have yet to be beaten in this campaign.

Austria will be aiming to bounce back after a 3-2 defeat in Serbia - they also dropped points at home to Wales.

Subs: Westwood (GK), C. Doyle (GK), O'Shea, Keogh, McGeady, McGoldrick, Horgan, K. Doyle, Meyler, McShane, O'Dowda, Pearce.
