There's been no reply yet by the FAI to Vera Pauw's claims she was undermined at the World Cup.

The now former Republic of Ireland women's team manager has hit out at the Association for what she feels was their reneging on the offer of a new contract.

The Dutchwoman claims the review process into her role was 'flawed' and the 'outcome pre determined'.

It's a significant night in the League of Ireland Premier Division title race.

Leaders Shamrock Rovers welcome Bohemians to Tallaght Stadium, with Shelbourne up against second placed side St Pat's - while Dundalk host Derry City.

Elsewhere, Cork City take on Sligo Rovers and Drogheda United face UCD.

In the First Division, leaders Galway United host Athlone Town, Cobh Ramblers play Treaty United, Wexford take on Finn Harps and it's Kerry versus Bray.

All of the matches kick off at 7.45.

In the Premier League this evening, Luton Town are at home to West Ham United.

There's an 8pm start at Kenilworth Road.
