New signings Joseph Ndo and Alan Kirby, both midfielders, along with striker Gary O'Neill, should all make their debuts as St Patrick's Athletic make their Setanta Sports Cup bow against Portadown at Richmond Park this evening.
Fellow new recruit Vinny Arkins, who was eight seasons at Portadown, is unavailable, while midfielder Dave Mulcahy is out as he recovers from a close-season knee operation.
Well rested after their game with Larne was rained off on Friday night, Portadown travel without defender John Convery who has an Achilles tendon injury.
Kick-off in Inchicore is 7.45pm.
