Cork play host to champions Longford

Eircom League leaders Cork City face League Cup champions and Cup specialists Longford Town at Turner’s Cross tonight in what is undoubtedly the tie of the League Cup quarter-finals.

Both sides will make changes with Cork manager Damien Richardson hoping to call in Derek Coughlan and Cillian Lordan, while he may also give Denis Behan a run after the striker returned from injury.

However Colin O’Brien, Billy Woods and Greg O’Halloran are all injured.

Longford Town will be missing Davy Byrne and Paul Keegan, while on-loan signing Alan Cawley is cup-tied.
