Shamrock Rovers are sitting six points clear at the summit of the League of Ireland Premier Division, but they do have a game in hand over nearest competitors Dundalk.

Rory Gaffney has been in terrific form this season and with the return of Graham Burke to full fitness, goals should not be a problem.

Chris McCann and Dylan Watts have also been in fine form on the creative front while defender Dan Cleary has made a great impact since signing from St. Johnstone a couple of weeks ago.

Once Shamrock Rovers don't lose by two or more goals, it will guarantee them a place in the Europa League playoff round. They will play the losers of Qarabeg and Basel in the next round.

It's been a great European campaign by the reigning League of Ireland Premier Division champions who will feel that an autumn of European football is within their grasp.
