The players missing are Sammy Clingan, Stephen Craigon and Michael Duff and all three would have likely played. The good news for Worthington however is that Glasgow Rangers pair, Kyle Lafferty and Steve Davis will both be available.

Slovenia striker, Milivoje Novakovic, who scored twice in Slovenia's excellent 2-1 win over Slovakia last month will be fir for the match and N Ireland will have to be on their guard to defend against him. Like Worthington, Slovenia's Head coach, Matjaz Kek has his side well motivated and he is very optimistic of his team's chance's of qualifying for the first ever World Cup finals in South Africa in 2010.

Betting has Slovenia as Evens, Northern Ireland are good odds at 100/30 and the draw is also a good bet at 12/5.
