Drogheda face Longford at United Park

Drogheda United should stay in second position going into the break as they face lowly Longford Town at United Park this evening, kick-off 7.45pm.

Longford stay rooted to the bottom of the table and Drogheda are coming off the back of an impressive victory in Sligo so this should be an easy win for Paul Doolin's side.

United fans will be delighted to see James Keddy back in the squad, the former Shamrock Rovers midfielder may start, and Richie Baker may return to the squad as well.

Declan O’Brien, Jason Gavin and Shane Barrett are still out injured, while keeper Dan O'Connor suffered another set-back during the week and will also miss out.

Graham Gartland returns from suspension for United.

John Martin, Robbie Martin and goalkeeper Shay Kelly are all missing for Town, as Alan Mathews' side look for a much-needed boost heading into the mid-season break.
