Full-time. Shamrock Rovers 0-0 UCD.

Greene and Clancy both booked during a verbal altercation.

5 minutes of added time to be played. News of a huge development in the title has most likely hit the Bowl, 10 man Derry going 1-0 down to Sligo.

A batch of substitutions for both sides. Barr comes on for Verdon, while Razi replaces Burt in the Rovers midfield.

Another corner for Rovers sees Moore collect the ball comfortably.

The only silver lining so far for Rovers is that Derry has failed to eat into their league lead, their match in the Showgrounds standing scoreless.

Greene looks to have had found the breakthrough as he latches on to a cut-back from Clarke, but can only fire his effort into the side netting.

The Students continue to hold out, Brennan receiving a booking for a pull back on Clarke.

Meyler brings on Osam in place of Curtis.

The pressure continues to mount on UCD, a goal line scramble seeing Gaffney's shot blocked and sent out for a corner.

Bradley makes the first change of the game, replacing Watts for Greene in an attempt to bring more firepower to the pitch.

It looks to be a more energetic start to the second half for Rovers, Lopes left as the only man back while the rest of team marauds forward.

UCD get proceedings back underway at the Bowl.

Half-time. UCD 0-0 Shamrock Rovers.

Gaffney misses another big chance to pull Rovers ahead! Hoare whips in a sweetly placed cross from the right flank and finds Gaffney in the centre of the box at point-blank range, The Tuam forward failing to find the target as his effort flies over the bar.

Verdon receives the first booking of the match for a cynical challenge on Clarke.

Hoare slides a pass into Burke into the box, who pulls the ball back to the outstretched Gaffney on the back post, Gaffney failing to get sufficient contact on the ball as he misses what's likely been the best chance of the first half.

Burke attempts to find Gaffney in the box, O'Regan doing well to clear the cross.

It's been a tepid opener so far tonight...as expected Rovers have enjoyed practically all of the possession, and have pranced around the UCD box for plenty of time without mustering up any sizeable chances. UCD have started in a low-block, defending relatively well, but have been unable to progress the ball up the pitch as Keane finds himself isolated at the top of the pitch.

Burke's brought down on the edge of the D by Verdon. The ensuing free-kick sees Watts fail to clear the wall.

Two back-to-back corners for Rovers sees UCD defend well and restart their build-up from the back.

Farrugia darts into the box with the ball at his feet and draws a good save from Kian Moore.

Lopes lifts a well-placed from his own half into the feet of Gaffney in the UCD box, Gaffney's touch letting him down as it runs behind him and into the possession of Brennan.

Rovers get the action underway in the Bowl!

Tonight's clash marks one of Andy Meyler's last games at the helm of UCD, the club having confirmed that first team coach Willie O'Connor will take charge after the season concludes. Johnny Kenny remains out of the Rovers squad following an injury on international duty, while Jack Byrne continues to recover from a long-term knee issue.

All three meetings between the two sides this season have seen Rovers prevail victorious, boasting an aggregate score line of 10-0, The Students picking up just one point out of their last five league fixtures. “Our aim is to go there, perform and win the game. We know we need to focus and to respect UCD. It’s the same three points that were on offer last week in Derry or against Bohs or Dundalk. Nothing changes in our mindset,” Bradley said.

“We weren’t at our levels, and we gave up too much of the game because we were sloppy in our decision-making…They knew themselves and it was up to us as staff to make them understand why and how it was happening and make sure we improved in the second half, and I thought we were excellent second half.”

Last week saw Rovers pick up an important point against second placed Derry, Graham Burke firing home from the penalty spot late on to help maintain his side\'s grasp on the league title. Manager Stephen Bradley bemoaned his side\'s lethargic first half performance while speaking to club media: \"If you look back, anything Derry had in the first half, any momentum in the game or any chances they had, came off the back of us making really poor decisions that we don’t normally make and we made a lot of them in the first half."

Evening all and welcome to tonight's match coverage of UCD vs Shamrock Rovers. The two sides currently find themselves at polar opposites, a loss for UCD tonight will result in automatic relegation, while a win for Rovers will help bolster their four point league lead and aspirations for a historic four-titles-in-a-row.
