In what has been an eventful start to the League of Ireland season, two sides that fans didn't expect to struggle are in need of victory this weekend.

For last season's champions Shamrock Rovers, their dramatic 4-4 draw to Cork City on Monday night meant they are still without a win this season after four games.

Despite several defensive injuries, they will be hoping they can turn around their fortunes when they travel to Tolka Park to face Shelbourne, who lost 2-1 to Dundalk in their last game.

For St Patrick's Athletic, a heavy 5-0 defeat to Dundalk last Friday was followed by a 2-1 loss to Sligo Rovers, who were reduced to 10 men for most of Monday's game.
