Sport
SSE Airtricity League Live, 7.30pm,
It's Shelbourne v Drogheda United (KO 7.45pm) in live coverage from the penultimate round of Premier Division fixtures, this one being played at Tolka Park.
Shelbourne have their first top-flight title since 2006 in their hands with two matches remaining, having led the way for most of the campaign - but a poor recent run of form means Derry City and reigning champions Shamrock Rovers are waiting to close the gap should they drop points.
But if Damien Duff's Reds win tonight, and Saint Pat's draw with Derry, Shels will be champions should Shamrock Rovers fail to win on Sunday in Dundalk.
Given the way this crazy season has gone, that's pretty straightforward.
