Hoops looking to stretch lead at top of table

There is a full programme of games in the Airtricity League Premier Division tonight.

The pick of the ties is at the revamped Tallaght Stadium, where leaders Shamrock Rovers will play host to third placed Sligo Rovers in the 8pm kick-off.

The Hoops could pull five points clear at the top of the table tonight, but Sligo need a win in order to stay in touch of the leaders.

Second-placed Derry City will be hoping the Hoops drop points at Tallaght as they welcome UCD to the Brandywell.

Elsewhere, St Pats are away to Bray Wanderers while Drogheda United are at home to Bohemians and Galway United host Dundalk at Terryland Park.

Those four ties kick-off at 7:45pm.
