Championship chasing Cork can narrow the gap on leaders Shelbourne to three points with a win over Drogheda at Turner’s Cross tonight to provide a grandstand finish to the season.

City, who will take on Drogheda again at United Park in four days time, have midfielder Colin O'Brien fully fit following a shoulder injury.

However, O'Brien may only make the bench as boss Pat Dolan is likely to stick with the same starting eleven for the eighth match running.

Drogheda, who are themselves chasing a place in Europe, have a big doubt over John Flanagan (knee) so David Sullivan is likely to start at right-back.
