The FAI have announced that a number of tickets are still available for tonight's friendly between Brian Kerr's Republic of Ireland and Australia.

Tickets can still be purchased from the FAI headquarters on Merrion Square (before 5 p.m.), through Ticketmaster or from caravans outside the ground this evening.

A limited number of schoolboys/girls tickets at €3 each are also available.

With both managers expected to name teams close to full-strength, a competitive match is anticipated with Kerr keen to maintain his unbeaten record at the helm of the senior team.

Kerr remains undefeated in his first six matches in charge but is aware his side must be on their guard to avoid England-style embarrassment at Lansdowne Road.

Last February, Frank Farina's Socceroos beat England 3-1 in a friendly at Upton Park and are expected to pick a similar side for this evening's contest. Both managers have delayed naming their starting line-ups until shortly before kick-off (7.30 p.m.).

Kerr, however, has already confirmed Nicky Colgan will start in goal and Clinton Morrsion is likely to partner Robbie Keane up front.
