Kevin O’Connor expects his hometown club Wexford to test Cork City’s title credentials again on Friday when the leaders resume their promotion chase at Turner’s Cross.

The visit of Ian Ryan’s side is City’s sole home game over a six-week period, coming seven days before they travel to face Galway United, who drew level on points last week.
