Derry hoping to use home advantage

Derry City will be hoping to make home advantage count when they face Linfield at the Brandywell.

Linfield are 50 games unbeaten domestically and travel to the Brandywell for a competitive game for the first time in 37-years, as favourites to book a place in the last four.

But Derry will hope that home advantage can see them through and they also welcome back Kevin McHugh to the squad after he missed Friday night’s League win over Sligo Rovers through suspension.

Linfield meanwhile welcome back veteran defender Noel Bailie though midfielder Paul McAreavey is suspended.
