This is shaping up to be one of the most exciting League of Ireland title races in recent memory and two of the main protagonists, Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians, meet on Monday evening.
Shamrock currently lead the way at the top of the standings, sitting three points clear of both second-placed St Patrick's Athletic and Bohs in third with four rounds of the season still to play.
With St Pat's not in action until Friday, all eyes will be on Tallaght Stadium on Monday, as Shamrock eye the win that would take them six points clear at the top, while a victory would see Bohemians end the night at the summit.

Shamrock Rovers v Bohemians Prediction
Best Bet: Over 2.5 goals & both teams to score @ 11/10
Monday's showdown pits the team with the best home record in the League of Ireland this season, Shamrock Rovers, against a Bohemians side that have collected the most points on the road.
Both sides are also in form, with Rovers recording back-to-back wins over Waterford and Drogheda United, and Bohemians claiming five successive victories since the disappointment of being knocked out of UEFA Conference League qualifying.
That all means that picking a winner on Monday is difficult but one thing that should be guaranteed is goals.
No team has scored more home goals than Shamrock, whose tally of 31 in 16 games is boosted by the three they put past both Waterford and Drogheda, although they also conceded in both of those matches.
Bohemians, meanwhile, are the division's highest overall scorers, with 30 of their 57 goals coming on their travels.
Alan Reynolds' visitors have scored in seven consecutive matches across all competitions, but have only kept one clean sheet during that time, highlighting that attack is also their best form of defence.
The last four meetings between this pair have seen both teams score in matches featuring a minimum of three goals and that trend can continue in this crucial title showdown.
Alternative Bet: John McGovern to score 2+ goals @ 11/1
With goals expected at Tallaght Stadium, it is unsurprising that there are plenty of candidates to get on the scoresheet, with Colm Whelan currently topping the Bohemians scoring charts and Graham Burke jointly leading the way for Shamrock.
Burke has nine league goals for the season and he has been joined on that tally recently by the in-form John McGovern, who has struck braces in his last two games against Waterford and Drogheda.
The Northern Irishman also notched the last time these two sides met - a 2-1 victory for Shamrock at Dalymount Park in May - and he could have a major say on this game by notching his third successive brace.

Shamrock hit a rocky patch as spring turned to autumn, but they have got back on track with their recent wins over Waterford and Drogheda and, with home advantage, should be able to avoid defeat on Monday to preserve their place at the top of the standings.
Stephen Bradley's Hoops have won 12 and lost only one of their 16 home matches in the LOI this season and they have also triumphed in three of their last four meetings with Bohemians.
As mentioned, goals are to be expected, which means even in defeat Bohs should be able to get on the scoresheet.
Top scorer Whelan is their most likely candidate to find the back of the net. Only Waterford's Tommy Lonergan has notched more than his total of 13 in the LOI this season and he is also the club's regular penalty taker, tucking home from the spot in the win at Dundalk last time out.
A goals range of between three and five is also worth considering as that would have been a winning bet in each of the last four meetings between the sides, as well as in Shamrock's last two games and in six of the last seven matches involving Bohemians.
