Caulfield expecting tough Oriel Park test for table-toppers City

It isn’t quite a top of the table clash – since joint leaders St Pat’s are not in action until they travel to Sligo tomorrow – but Oriel Park is the venue for a big SSE Airtricity League game this evening, as third hosts first with the meeting of Dundalk and Cork City.

Still the only unbeaten side in the league, table-toppers City also travel to Louth with a 100% away record but manager John Caufield is expecting a tough test in Oriel from a team he has described as “one of the big title contenders this year”.

Darren Dennehy returns for City following suspension but Darren Murphy is still sidelined with a hamstring injury. And while Danny Morrissey is expected to resume full training next week, fellow striker Michael Rafter remains out for the foreseeable future.
