In tonight's ericom Premier League action, league leaders Shelbourne travel to Drogheda United while Cork City make the trip to Longford Town.
Longford Town v Cork City
Town welcome back skipper Barry Ferguson, Vinny Perth and Darragh Sheridan from suspension as they look to get back on track in the league after two defeats. Alan Mathews' midlanders will also be keen to avenge 3-0 and 4-1 defeats to City -their biggest of the season - from earlier in the campaign.
City are set to give a full debut to left winger Liam Kearney after the Irish youth international came on at half-time and scored in Friday's 2-1 home defeat to Bohemians. Derek Coughlan returns from suspension to City's central defence.
Drogheda United v Shelbourne
With midfielder Darren Beesley still out with a back strain, Drogheda work from the same panel as used for the two FAI Cup clashes with Bohemians as new boss Paul Doolin comes up against another of his former clubs. "Shelbourne are going well at the minute and this will not be an easy match," said Doolin who won the double at Tolka Park as a player in 2000. "But with home advantage, we will be going all out for the three points to lift us up the table."
Shels will again slot Dave Rogers in at left back as David Crawley is still out due to a bereavement. Boss Pat Fenlon has striker Ger McCarthy back from suspension as the league leaders look for a fourth win on the spin.
