Derry and Harps play the top two this evening

City make the trip to fifth place Derry in the S-S-E Airtricity League Premier Division this evening.
John Caulfield’s Cork side are 18-points clear at the summit and are 24 points ahead of Derry who sit fifth.
Derry are almost at full strenght with just Rory Patterson the only concern.
Ballybofey’s Johnny Dunleavy will not feature for Cork tonight or for the rest of the season due to a knee injury.
Second-place Dundalk will be hoping to profit from any slip-up by Cork – the Lilywhites are at home to Finn Harps who sit just above the relegation zone
It’s an enormous task for Harps if they are to get anything out of the trip to Oriel Park but on the plus side Ollie Horgan will be boosted by the return of Ethan Boyle, Damian McNulty, Caolan McAleer and Danny Morrissey from suspension. However, Ciaran O’Connor isn’t available as he is on loan from Dundalk.
Horgan does have injury concerns including Paddy McCourt who hobbled off in the latter stages of the Shamrock Rovers game.
Also doubtful are central defender Packie Mailey and veteran midfielder Barry Molloy.
Elsewhere struggling Galway host Bray, Bohemians welcome Sligo Rovers to Dalymount and Shamrock Rovers host out of form Drogheda.
The Drogs haven’t won since April.
