League Preview

On Friday's Football Daily, Phil Egan brings you a full look ahead to tonight's action in the League of Ireland, including our live commentary game of Derry City and Bohemians at the Ryan McBride Brandywell. We build up to tonight’s clash between Derry City and Bohemians, as two unbeaten sides look to lay down an early marker in the Premier Division. The first Louth derby of the season takes centre stage at Oriel Park, where Dundalk FC host Drogheda United with local pride and early momentum on the line. Champions Shamrock Rovers finally get their campaign underway against St. Patrick's Athletic after weather disruptions delayed their start to the season.

In Europe, there’s reaction to Celtic FC’s heavy defeat to VfB Stuttgart in the Europa League, while Nottingham Forest take control of their tie against Fenerbahce. We also cover progress for Manchester United W.F.C. in the Women’s Champions League, alongside Arsenal W.F.C. and Chelsea F.C. Women.
