Baraclough sweats on stars as Sligo face Drogheda

Sligo Rovers, three points clear at the top of the Airtricity Premier Division, will be hoping to get back to winning ways when they travel to take on third-placed Drogheda United at Hunky Dory Park tonight (7.45pm).

Boss Ian Baraclough will not name his side until just before kick-off, with Joseph Ndo (hamstring), Alan Keane (knee) and Jason McGuinness (back) all facing late fitness tests.

Drogheda, unbeaten in their last eight league games, have doubts about the injured Paul Crowley. Champions Shamrock Rovers lie in second place and will be favourites when they host UCD at Tallaght Stadium although they will again be without the injured Ciarán Kilduff and Ken Oman while winger Killian Brennan has a late fitness test on a calf muscle injury.
