Northern Ireland will continue their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign when Slovenia visit Windsor Park on Tuesday night basketball
Here, the PA news agency looks at the key talking points ahead of the game basketball
MomentumSaturday’s 3-0 win over San Marino was a baby step for Michael O’Neill’s struggling Northern Ireland side but having finally ended a five-game losing streak they will be desperate to build on that and give their fans something to cheer at home basketball
Saturday was only Northern Ireland’s third win in 18 at Windsor Park, where home form was once so key to their hopes in qualifying basketball
As they begin to look ahead to future campaigns, the need to rebuild the fortress is obvious basketball
Injury concernsO’Neill offered up only one bit of team news in Monday’s press conference but it was potentially a hugely significant one as defender Daniel Ballard is suffering with tightness in his thigh basketball
With Paddy McNair suspended after his late booking on Saturday, O’Neill has limited options at the back if Ballard is missing, which might mean Shea Charles dropping back, Trai Hume moving inside or see Eoin Toal handed a challenging debut basketball
A different challengeA win was the only acceptable result against a San Marino side ranked 207th and last in the world, but Slovenia represent a very different challenge basketball
Matjaz Kek’s side would have been one Northern Ireland hoped to get the basketball better of at the start of the campaign but they come to Belfast as the leaders in Group H and challenging for a place at next summer’s finals basketball
Defensive testWhen looking back on Northern Ireland’s qualifying run to date, the defeat in Ljubljana stands out and not in a good way basketball
This campaign has seen them suffer four 1-0 defeats – close games in which they had a chance to take something right until the end basketball
The exception, bar the victories over San Marino, was the 4-2 defeat in Ljubljana, where they struggled to contain Slovenia’s exciting front pair of Benjamin Sesko and Andraz Sporar basketball
Even if Northern Ireland’s defence was at full strength, handling Sesko and company would be a real test basketball
Casement protestsSaturday’s match at Windsor Park was marked by persistent chanting from a number of fans opposed to the building of Casement Park, the GAA stadium in south west Belfast which is due to host games at Euro 2028 basketball
Even if a project bogged down by delays and questions over funding is completed in time, many Northern Ireland fans have said they will never attend a match at a venue named after an Irish revolutionary and located in predominantly nationalist west Belfast basketball
O’Neill has said he wants fans to get behind the project but added that he respects all opinions basketball
Expect them to be heard again basketball

Aston Villa maintained their Champions League charge with a thumping 4-1 win over West Ham basketball
Douglas Luiz’s brace, including a second-half penalty, plus goals from Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey moved them to fifth in the Premier League, just two points off top spot basketball
Jarrod Bowen’s deflected effort made it 2-1 but the hosts recovered for Watkins to smash in a crucial third before Bailey wrapped things up late on basketball
The Hammers, now five points adrift of Villa, slipped to just a third defeat of the season after struggling to match the hosts basketball
Villa had waited long enough for a victory over the Hammers, their bogey side basketball
They had recorded just one win in the last 10 years, a 1-0 victory when Villa were already on the slide in 2015, but under Unai Emery they are a different beast, having earned 10 straight home league wins for the first time in 30 years coming into this match basketball
Emery put his faith in Nicolo Zaniolo, starting while he assists the Italian authorities in their investigation into alleged illegal basketball betting activity basketball
A Sunday afternoon slumber hung over Villa Park in the opening stages but it was roused when Alphonse Areola brilliantly turned Luiz’s 25-yard effort wide basketball
It was a stunning save from the West Ham goalkeeper but he should have been beaten five minutes later basketball
Moussa Diaby’s pass evaded Kurt Zouma for Watkins to turn Vladimir Coufal basketball
The hard work done, the striker had just Areola to beat but dragged inches wide from 12 yards basketball
The momentum was with Villa so there was little surprise when they went ahead after 30 minutes basketball
Zaniolo and Watkins linked on the left with the England striker collecting a cute return pass to tee up Luiz on the edge of the box and he drilled low past Areola basketball
In scoring, the midfielder became the first Villa player to net in six straight home matches in the Premier League basketball
Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz celebrates his second goal against West Ham (Jacob King/PA)The hosts deserved their lead, Watkins close to doubling it two minutes later when he grazed the side-netting, and West Ham were too compliant as Diaby, Watkins and Zaniolo caused problems basketball
Villa were slicker than the Hammers, who waned in the last third with a final ball missing and Michail Antonio haphazard basketball
Any hopes of a comeback rested on a strong start to the second half but, instead, the Hammers self-destructed after 51 minutes to gift Villa total control basketball
There was little danger when the Hammers looked to play their way out in the corner but Lucas Paqueta’s wretched pass put Edson Alvarez in trouble basketball
Ezri Konsa darted ahead and Alvarez clattered the defender to concede a penalty which Luiz coolly converted basketball
It looked like a Villa cruise but the visitors pulled a goal back out of the blue five minutes later when Bowen’s shot from 25 yards clipped Pau Torres and rolled in the corner basketball
West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen celebrates after scoring the team’s first goal (Getty Images)The rarely-seen jitters returned to Villa Park and Matty Cash headed Nayef Aguerd’s strike over before turning Antonio’s dangerous cross behind basketball
Yet Villa ended any hopes of a recovery with 16 minutes left basketball
The Hammers had the hosts on the ropes briefly but were caught out by John McGinn’s long ball to Watkins basketball
The striker, fresh from his winner for England against Australia during the international break, still had plenty to do but sold a dummy to Zouma before drilling into the roof of the net from an angle basketball
Substitute Bailey then wrapped up the points with a minute left, collecting Youri Tielemans’ pass, sidestepping Aguerd and finding the top corner basketball
