Derry City hope for return to winning ways

Derry City will hope to return to winning ways following last week’s 2-0 defeat by Cork City against a Drogheda United team protecting a 10-game unbeaten run.

Derry will give late fitness tests to Eamon Doherty (ankle), Clive Delaney (knee) and Alan Murphy (foot) though defender Damien Brennan (medial knee ligament) is ruled out for three weeks.
