Cork City entertain Cliftonville in tonight's Setanta Sports Cup clash at Turner's Cross, kick-off 7.45pm.

Pat Sullivan is once again available for City as his two-match ban applies only to league matches, while Billy Woods will miss out as he is still recovering from an ankle injury in pre-season.

Liam Kearney was substituted after suffering severe bruising to his arm in the win over Galway and is doubtful for the clash, but boss Alan Mathews will be hoping that the winger, who has been in fine form this season, will be available for the clash.

Mathews said that he is looking forward to the game and is hoping that his side can continue their recent good form: "This is obviously the first meeting between the two clubs, and we are looking forward to welcoming Cliftonville to Cork for what promises to be an interesting game.

"We had a good win in Galway on Friday night and that’s two wins on the spin for us, so we will be aiming to keep that run going on Monday night."

Cliftonville travel with a full squad after Friday night's clash with Crusaders was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

The Reds have already secured a spot in next season's tournament after securing third place in the Carnegie Irish League.
