The Republic of Ireland's Euro 2008 qualification hopes are hanging in the balance as they prepare to face the Czech Republic in Prague tonight.

Steve Staunton's side need to secure all three points to keep their hopes alive following Saturday's disappointing 2-2 draw with Slovakia.

The manager has been forced into making one team change, with Andy Reid replacing Stephen Ireland in midfield.

Elsewhere in Group D, the Slovakians entertain Wales at 5.30pm, while Cyprus take on San Marino at 6pm.

Northern Ireland will also be looking to go top of Group F when they face Iceland.
