Galway United come up against Bohemians in tonight's eircom League of Ireland Premier Division clash at Terryland Park, kick-off 7.45pm.

For Galway, Alan Murphy and Iarflaith Davoran missed last week's match as they were cup tied, however both return to the squad.

Alan Keane and Ollie Fenn are still out with a knee injury and viral infection respectively.

John Lester also misses out through suspension.

United however are in confident mood and manager Jeff Kenna believes the three additions during the transfer window are making the difference.

Kenna said: "Alan Murphy, Iarflaith Davoran and Jasper Jorgensen have added significantly to the squad and have already shown their quality in the games they've played.

"Obviously Bohemians are in fantastic form. It's a great challenge for us to register more points on the board and halt their progress at the top of the table."

Glenn Cronin is a doubt but should return to the Bohs squad shortly.

While John Paul Kelly returns from suspension and Anto Murphy is free to play, having been cup tied last week.

Gypsies boss Pat Fenlon said: "We still have a lot of work to do in the final third of the season and the most important game in football is always the next one.

"We have done very well thus far but no trophies are handed out until the end of the season. Our hard work will count for nothing if we don't maintain our concentration in the final series of the league and any remaining cup matches.

"I have been around too long to be getting excited at this stage of the season and we have to keep doing the things that got us into this position in the first place."
