Linfield v Drogheda United team news

Ahead of this evening's Setanta Sports Cup Final at Windsor Park, Drogheda United have far more injury concerns than their opponents Linfield. (KO 5.00pm)

The Boynesiders must wait on the fitness of defenders Steven Gray and Graham Gartland as well as midfielder Stephen Bradley after they picked up knocks.

But winger Ollie Cahill is definitely out with an ankle injury after a scan during the week on top of their five or six long-term injuries.

Linfield's only main doubt is Paul McAreavey with a viral infection.

The final sees the two previous winners of the competition come face-to-face.

Linfield won the debut tournament in 2005, while Drogheda are the defending champions.

When the two teams met in the group stage this year, Linfield came away from United Park with a 1-0 victory, while the return meeting was a 0-0 stalemate.
