O’Neill under pressure? Talking points ahead of Republic of Ireland’s clash with Denmark

Martin O’Neill sends his Republic of Ireland team into battle with Denmark on Saturday evening hoping to kick-start their Nations League campaign.

A 4-1 defeat in Wales last month, coupled with Denmark’s 5-1 victory in Dublin last November in their previous competitive fixture, have left O’Neill fielding uncomfortable questions about his future.

Here, Press Association Sport takes a look of some of the talking points surrounding the game.

A big week for O’Neill?
