NI and Republic ready for the seeds in World Cup lunchtime draw
Italy, Switzerland, Croatia or Denmark await ...
It’s D-day for both Northern Ireland and the Republic.
Both will find out later who they will face for a place in the World Cup finals.
The draw will be made in Zurich around lunchtime.
Neither will be seeded, however, and could face either Italy, one of the competition’s most successful nations with four World Cup titles to their credit; Switzerland, Croatia or Denmark.
The two-legged ties will take place in November
