Cork City's unbeaten run in the SSE Airtricity Premier Division came to an end last Monday night when they were beaten 1-0 by Bohemians at Turners Cross.
Despite the loss, John Caulfield's men remain in an extremely dominant position and are just a couple of victories away from sealing the league title.
They will be keen to get back to winning ways, and they have an excellent chance in doing so when they travel to United Park to face the leagues bottom dwellers Drogheda United.
The Drogs are without a win in a staggering 14 games and are starring down the barrel of relegation. While victory on Friday seems unlikely, they will need the turn the tables on their recent form sooner rather than later if they are to have any chance of survival.
