    Wales manager Chris Coleman names a team which shows two changes from November's goalless draw in Belgium. James Collins replaces injured centre-back James Chester, who has yet to recover fully from a dislocated shoulder.

    Tottenham's Ben Davies also slots in at centre-back as Coleman switches to the 5-3-2 formation which he used at the start of the campaign in Andorra. That means Gareth Bale starts up front alongside Hal Robson-Kanu.

    Israel boss Eli Guttman makes just one change from the team which beat Bosnia-Hercegovina 3-0 last time out as Orel Dgani replaces Eyal Meshumar at right-back in a 4-3-3 formation.

    Israel XI: Marziano; Dgani, Tal Ben Haim, Tibi, Ben Harush; Yeini, Natcho, Refaelov; Tal Ben Haim II, Zehavi, Dmari.

    Wales XI: Hennessey; Gunter, Williams, Collins, Davies, Taylor; Allen, Ledley, Ramsey; Robson-Kanu, Bale.

    So, 2 current Swans and 2 former Swans in the starting line- up

    Very strong line up (possibly our strongest). I think we can win this tonight and it's bloody nice to see Bale, Joe and Ramsay on the pitch together for a change <cheers>

    Just turned it on and saw the team and it's actually a pretty decent team there. Bale, Ramsey, Allen, Ledley form a strong base just a shame Giggs and Bellamy aren't 10 years younger.

    Agree IBWT. If we had a top class striker, we would be some team.

    Very impressive start by us.

    Collins has had a good game so far - but he should have buried that !!!

    Possibly they're best first half performance under Coleman, especially considering the magnitude of this fixture.

    Another few inches and that would have been a penalty.

    Playing quite well but should be out of sight by now...We need another goal as 1-0 is dodgy and we deserve the win ATM....I expect israel to up their game now so more of the same from us with better finishing needed...
