Unbeaten in the league at home in 13 matches stretching back to last September, Galway hope to make it a fifth win in six games to put them top of the First Division table for the first time this season.
Though winger Mick O'Donnell returns from suspension, defenders Billy Clery and Philip O’Reilly are banned.
Harps, who are looking for a hat-trick of wins, are without the banned Shane Bradley while Marc Mokendi remains out injured.
Fullbacks Shaun McGowan or Jonathan Minnock may have to play in central defence.
