Two near neighbors with new managers at the helm face off at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, as Ireland hosts England in this League B Group 2 clash.
After Gareth Southgate's departure as manager in the summer, Saturday's match sees Lee Carsley take charge of England for the first time in his role as interim boss.
Former Everton defender Carsley was capped 40 times for England's opponents today, but will now lead the visitors at the Aviva Stadium after a hugely successful stint as the visitor's under 21 manager.
After a failing to reach a major tournament during previous boss Stephen Kenny's three-year tenure, Ireland will be hoping the appointment of new head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson will usher in a new era with the Boys in Green once again competing on football's biggest stages.
Hallgrimsson famously inflicted one of England's most famous defeats, having overseen a shock 2-1 victory over the Three Lions during the last-16 stage of Euro 2016.
The Republic of Ireland hosts England at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday, Sept 7. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. IST/ BST local time in Ireland and the UK, which is 12 p.m. ET or 9 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 2 a.m. AEST on Sunday, Sept. 8 in Australia.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.
Midfielder Declan Rice looks unlikely to receive a warm welcome in Dublin after playing for the Republic of Ireland national team early in his career before switching to play for England.

If you find yourself unable to view this Nations League fixture locally, you may need a different way to watch the match -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
