Injury-hit Derry face Cork City

Cork City travel to the Brandywell to take on Derry City in today's televised eircom League of Ireland Premier Division clash, kick-off 7pm.

Derry still have several injuries as Paddy McCourt (back), Darren Quigley (hand), Sammy Morrow (knee), Sean Hargan (knee) and Ruardhri Higgins (ankle) are all carrying knocks.

City boss Stephen Kenny said: "We were one-nil down against Rovers but fought back and saved a point and since then we have taken all nine points from the three games we have played, so that shows that we are in good form coming into this game.

"Some say that Cork have the best side in the league, so it will be a tough game, but we have a good record at home and are back scoring goals so that's a good sign."

For Cork, midfielder Colin Healy is suspended, so Joe Gamble is likely to return to the midfield.

Otherwise, Cork boss Alan Mathews has a full squad to choose from.

Mathews said: "The Brandywell is a good football venue and one where I liked going when I was playing myself and more recently as a coach and as a manager.

"The onus is on the home team to come out, attack and try to win the game, but we know that we are capable of going anywhere and beating any team.

"I’ve said that number of times and I believe it, but we need to start proving that on a more consistent basis."
