In the Eircom Premier Division, third and fourth meet tonight as St Patrick's Athletic play host to Bray Wanderers.

Bray are unbeaten in their last 11 league games, but are still missing Eddie van Boxtel, Maurice Farrell and Mick Doohan from their line-up. Eddie Gormley and Dave Campbell are also doubtful starters.

Darragh Maguire and Michael Holt return from injury for the Pat's looking for their first home win in six games.

In the First Division, fourth-placed Waterford United travel to the north-east to play Drogheda United. Paul Power's men are hoping to end their run of six games without a win and move up to third spot. Opponents Drogheda have not won in four and recorded just two victories in total this season.

In the other First Division match, top side Athlone Town meet bottom club St Francis, a full 35 points below them.
