Linfield strengthen team for Setanta tie

Linfield and Drogheda United meet tonight hoping to book a Setanta Cup final place against Cork City.

Defending champions Linfield lost their first domestic match of the season against Distillery on Saturday and it will be a stronger team that faces the Drogs.

Midfielders Paul McAreavey and Tim Mouncey return after being rested though captain Noel Bailie misses out with a hamstring problem.

Drogheda, meanwhile, will be without Keith Fahey (knee) and Stephen Gray (hamstring) for the clash.
