The eircom Premier Division title must be decided tonight when, for the first time in 15 years, the title will be decided by a last day showdown between the top two sides in the country.

The eircom Premier Division title must be decided tonight when, for the first time in 15 years, the title will be decided by a last day showdown between the top two sides in the country.

Cork City have home advantage but must beat a Derry City side who only need a draw to lift the title in what is sure to be a tense and memorable encounter.

The big injury news is that John O'Flynn is almost certain to miss out for Cork City with a longstanding groin problem, though Damien Richardson will give his star striker until the last minute to prove his fitness.

Derry City, meanwhile, have a clean bill of health with Stephen Kenny's biggest decision being whether to play striker Gary Beckett ahead of former Cork player Stephen O'Flynn.
