The Lilywhites will host Waterford at Oriel Park tonight

Dundalk FC continue their SSE Airtricity League Men's Premier Division campaign when they welcome Waterford FC to Oriel Park this evening. Kick-off at 7.45PM.

The Lilywhites will be hoping to make it three wins in a row, while Waterford will be looking to bounce back from last week's defeat to Shamrock Rovers.

The sides have met twice already this season, with them playing out a 3-3 draw after the Lilywhites were 5-0 winners earlier in the season.

In Dundalk team news, Danny Mullen will miss the game through injury, as will Harvey Warren and Conor Kearns. Conor O'Keeffe has returned to training, while Norman Garbett continues to make good progress in his recovery.

When looking ahead to the game, Dundalk manager Ciarán Kilduff told the official club website: "We're delighted with our recent form. I think it's a testament to the players and staff, and to how we handled the mid-season break.

“To come back with two away wins is a reward for all the work that was done — both individually by the players during the break and then collectively since we returned.

"We were in a good run before the break as well, so overall we're in a good place at the minute as a group. There's an ambitious feel around the club right now, especially heading into the last 15 or 16 games.

“There's a lot of positivity around the group, but it's about getting back to normality too — keeping our feet on the ground, staying focused, and taking on what will be a tough game against Waterford."
