Republic of Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni has warned Italy not to expect any favours from them.

The last Group C match is a must-win for the Azzurri, while the Irish are already eliminated following two defeats to Croatia and Spain.

"Against Italy I intend to field the players who earned and deserved this qualification to Euro 2012," said Trap.

"If I were to make five or six changes to the line-up, then I'm sure that would raise suspicion and people will say I'm favouring Italy."
