We are going 3-5-2 and deploying Aiden McGeady, who scored against Preston on Saturday, and Cyrus Christie on either flank. If Ireland get their act together, they won't have to do much defending and can stretch Moldova by staying tight to the sidelines and supplying quality ball.
That leaves a back three, in front of Darren Randolph, that should be able to cope with the best Moldova can sling - Stephen Ward, Shane Duffy and Ciaran Clark. That trio brings Ireland's Premier League representatives, in the starting XI to four.
