Sligo hoping to stay top

Sligo Rovers will be looking to stay top of the table with victory over Galway United at Terryland Park tonight, kick-off 7.45pm.

Rovers have a fully fit squad for the trip to Galway and new signing Conor Powell should be involved.

Sligo boss Paul Cook said: “I’ve always maintained there are no easy games in this league. Galway are on a very poor run but that doesn’t mean we just turn up and win.

“We struggled at times last week and had to work hard to win the game. We will have to work just as hard against Galway to claim the three points.

“We’ve been on a good run and are top of the league now so we have to keep that going.”

Galway remain rooted to the bottom of the table and will be hoping to get something out of this Connacht derby.

Sean Connor’s side have only one victory all season and already look set for relegation, even at this midway point in the season.

United must plan without injured pair Jonathan Keane and Sean Kelly, while Enda Curran is out with damaged ligaments in his foot.
