What time and TV channel is the Dundalk v Drogheda game on today?

Dundalk host Drogheda United in the first Louth derby of the season after Drogheda's promotion to the Airtricity League this year.

The clash couldn't come at a worse time for the Lilywhites, who lost both Shane Keegan and Filippo Giovagnoli after the management pairing left the club last weekend.

Dundalk lie just over the relegation zone after a winless first six games that saw them pick up just three points before the duo's departure.

And with sporting director Jim Magilton stepping in to pick up the pieces as they search for a new boss, the 2019 champions will also be without injured striker Pat Hoban.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of the game:
