Netherlands
Daley Blind, Robin van Persie.
With van Gaal now in charge there is a slightly bigger Dutch contingent, with Blind joining from Ajax over the summer and he and van Persie are taking on Kazakhstan on Friday and Iceland on Monday in their qualifiers.
Northern Ireland
Jonny Evans.
Has struggled with fitness and form this term, but having won their first match the Northern Irish will need the experience of Evans against Faroe Islands and Greece.
