Speaking before the home match Buckley says he is looking forward to what “should be a good game.” “We were happy to pick up three points on Monday night and are in fourth position going into the weekend” he says. “We have been working hard again in training this week and want to play well against Drogheda who have been in good form lately. When we played them up there we did really well in the first half, going three goals ahead. We’ll be looking to make a good start again and try to keep improving. The fans have come out in good numbers this season at The Showgrounds and it’s important that they come out again and get behind the lads as always. It should be a decent crowd on the night.”

Last time the duo came to blows was back in series five where Liam Buckley’s men ran out a 3-0 triumph at Head in the Game Park. There it took only seven minutes for Rovers to inch ahead thanks to a Lewis Banks header, which was later supplemented by Jordan Hamilton and Will Fitzgerald later on in the half.

Drogheda on the other hand are also coming off the bounce of a good streak which sees them unbeaten in their last six Premier Division matches. The latest of which saw a healthy result against league leaders Derry where Joe Thomson and Ryan Brennan’s strikes cancelled each other out in a 1-1 conclusion.

Sligo recently set a bad run of form right when they beat North-West rivals Finn Harps 1-0 in Donegal thanks to a goal from Karl O’Sullivan, marking their first victory in five games.

The Bit O’Red currently sit in fourth on 16 points, behind Derry City, Shamrock Rovers and St Patrick’s Athletic, while United are in seventh on 13th points with only Dundalk and Bohemians between them.

A win for Drogheda United at The Showgrounds come 7:45pm would draw them level with tonight’s opponents Sligo Rovers in the SSE Airtricity Premier Division. My name is Alanna Cunnane and I'll be bringing you tonight's match commentary!
