Republic of Ireland midfielder Stephen Quinn is preparing for a tough test from Poland in Sunday's European Qualifier in Dublin.
Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski will be the main focus of the Polish attack in the Group D contest at the Aviva Stadium, but Quinn is also wary of the likes of Arkadiusz Milik and Sebastian Mila.
Quinn said: "I don't think we need to say too much about Lewandowski because we know exactly how much of a threat he is. But hopefully we can keep him quiet at the weekend.
"But they are strong all over. They are plying their trades throughout the European leagues and they have got a top striker in Lewandowski up front, so we all know how good they are.
"Poland are a strong side. We have watched a lot of videos on them throughout the week already. The manager doesn't want to leave any stone unturned going into it for set-pieces, et cetera.
"We know how strong they are and we have done our homework, so hopefully we can deal with that on Sunday.
"We can't dwell on how good they are, we have got to look at our own qualities and try to apply them in the game on Sunday and get those three points that we really want. We have got our own pace down the flanks as well, so hopefully we can counteract that."
We know how strong they are and we have done our homework, so hopefully we can deal with that on Sunday.
Poland currently top Group D with 10 points from four games with the Republic, Germany and Scotland all three points adrift.
Martin O’Neill’s side were beaten 1-0 by Scotland in their last game in November, but Quinn is confident there will be no hangover from the disappointment at Celtic Park.
The Hull star said: "No, I don't think so. Obviously, we were disappointed with the result, but we can't dwell on that.
"It was a close game, it wasn't the prettiest, but if we keep looking back at that, then we are not going to be going forward, so we have just got to concentrate on this Poland game.
"That's gone now and we have got to look at our home form and try to get the three points here, which is most important."
Watch Republic of Ireland v Poland live on Sky Sports 5 at 7.45pm on Sunday.
