Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill makes 11 changes to his side for their international friendly with a depleted USA in Dublin.

Everton's Seamus Coleman and James McCarthy are rested, while Robbie Keane has returned to America to prepare for the MLS playoffs along with Jermaine Jones, Lee Nguyen, DeAndre Yedlin and DaMarcus Beasley of the US.

Sunderland striker Jozy Altidore leads the line for the Americans, who have Bolton Wanderers defender Tim Ream on the bench.
