Team News: Kyle Lafferty returns for Northern Ireland as O'Neill makes three changes

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill makes three changes for his side's final qualifying game, as Kyle Lafferty returns up front in place of Josh Magennis.

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill has made three changes for his side's final qualifying game, as Kyle Lafferty returns up front in place of Josh Magennis.

The striker, who missed out on the side's 3-1 victory over Greece, leads Northern Ireland's scoring charts with seven strikes in qualifying.

Chris Baird and John McGinn also come into the side, who need just a point to secure top spot in Group F, in place of Corey Evans and Jamie Ward.

Experienced midfielder Tim Sparv returns for Finland, who can't qualify for Euro 2016, while Niklas Moisander and Teemu Pukki drop to the bench.

Finland: Hradecky; Jalasto, Arajuuri, Ojala, Uronen; Ring, Mattila, Sparv, Schuller; Pohjanpalo, Sadik
Subs: Moisander, Toivo, Pukki, Lod, Maenpaa, Arkivuo, Lam, Hamalainen, Raitala, Joronen

Northern Ireland: McGovern; McNair, McAuley, Cathcart, Brunt; Norwood, Baird, Davis; McGinn, Lafferty, Dallas
Subs: C. McLaughlin, Ferguson, McCullough, McKay, Carroll, R. McLaughlin, McCourt, Reeves, Ward, Magennis, Boyce, Mannus
