Ireland recovered from going behind early in the game, with headed goals from Finn Azaz and Matt Doherty giving them a slender lead to defend in Sunday's second leg in Dublin.
Azaz says they'll need an improved performance at the Aviva Stadium, if they're to win the tie and stay in League B
New England boss Thomas Tuchel admits he's feeling a bit nervous ahead of his first game in charge at Wembley this evening.
