UCD will be looking to get back to winning ways in the eircom League of Ireland as they take on title challengers Drogheda United at Belfield Park tonight.

The students were beaten by Sligo last time out in the league but will be buoyed by the midweek victory over Finn Harps that saw them qualify for the semi-finals of this year's league cup.

Boss Pete Mahon has a full squad to choose from for tonight's encounter and they will be boosted by the return of Paul Byrne from suspension.

Drogheda are still missing a host of players with Miko Vilmunen, Jason Gavin, Richie Baker, Ollie Cahill, Shane Barrett and Declan O'Brien all injured.

Simon Webb may return for United as they look to keep the pressure on St Patrick's Athletic at the top of the table.
