The Republic of Ireland must avoid defeat to maintain their League B status when their Nations League campaign concludes with the visit of Armenia.

It has been a disappointing month for both sides, and one of them will drop into League C after Tuesday’s meeting in Dublin.

Ireland surrendered the lead to lose 2-1 away to Scotland on Saturday, while Armenia were thrashed 5-0 by Ukraine.

That left Stephen Kenny’s side on four points and the rock-bottom Armenians on three.

Their last meeting in June ended in a 1-0 victory for Armenia that gave them their only points of the campaign so far.

Since then, the visitors have lost four games in a row in their double-headers with Scotland and Ukraine, conceding 14 goals and scoring just one.

Neither of these sides will be heading to World Cup 2022 in November, but they will still be wanting to end their campaigns on a high.

Josh Cullen is suspended for Ireland, but Kenny can otherwise count on a settled squad.

Arman Hovhannisyan and Kamo Hovhannisyan return from suspension for Armenia.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Nations League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
