Irish domestic football makes its return this weekend as the League of Ireland comes back for the 2023 season. Reigning champions Shamrock Rovers are aiming for their fourth straight title after last season's success, and will be favourites once again.
However, Stephen Bradley's side will face challenges from several sides, and will have an eye on embarking on an improvement in Europe.
After winning the FAI Cup and a second place finish last season, Derry City will believe they will once again be the biggest threat to Shamrock Rovers dominance, and already have a win over Shamrock Rovers in the Presidents' Cup.
St Patrick's Athletic will feel they are also in a position to challenge, with a solid defence and busy transfer window, they will hope to build on last season's fourth place finish.
