Hello and welcome along to Monday's Football Daily.

I'm Phil Egan.

Coming up today, Ireland are in Grenoble ahead of tomorrow's World Cup qualifier with France.

Rucha Littlejohn says the team's ready to make history and qualify for the World Cup in Brazil next summer.

And a former Premier League legend loses his job in the Netherlands.

But first, Ireland trained in Grenoble earlier on, ahead of a potentially historic World Cup qualifier against France tomorrow night.

Carla Wardside kept their automatic qualification hopes alive with a superb 3-2 win over the Netherlands on Friday.

And they know a win would secure a place at next year's World Cup in Brazil.

The girls in green have already guaranteed a playoff, but could still top their group with another major upset.

Denise O'Sullivan and Emily Murphy are available again after suspension.

France are ranked sixth in the world, but Ward says nobody wants to face her side.

Roosha Littlejohn played 45 minutes in Cork on Friday against the Dutch and is expected to feature again tomorrow against the French.

She says both her and her teammates want to cause another upset.

There was no fitness concerns reported from this morning's training session.

Emily Murphy and Denise O'Sullivan's appearances back in the squad will give Ward some selection headaches.
