It’s tight at the top with Shamrock Rovers and Sligo Rovers tied on 38 points after 19 games. St Pats are just three points behind and can go top this weekend with a big win. Longford are starting to get cut adrift at the bottom and are four points off Waterford in 9th.

Waterford have a big game as they take on Finn Harps who sit one place in the league above them but the visitors boast a seven-point cushion heading into this round of games. With the half-way stage approaching, how does Alan Cawley see this weekend’s games going?
