'Form goes out the window, and you normally get blood and thunder in these types of fixtures, and I wouldn't expect anything else from this game.'
For United, Paul Crowley and Eric McGill are suspended, while there are doubts about Robbie Martin who suffered a head injury during the week.
Drogheda boss, Mathews said: 'This is a massive game for us and one we are really looking forward to.
'It gives us a chance to really show what we are made of, the lads are really up for this and have been training well all week.
'It's always going to be a tough task to travel to Dundalk and try to get something from the game. I was very disappointed with the performance last week and we will look to up our game on Sunday.'
