St Patrick’s Athletic have gone nine matches without a win and still hover too near the relegation zone for comfort.
They will again be understrength when the face Shelbourne because of injuries and suspensions with Robbie Doyle and Sean O’Connor out.
Gerard Rowe is on loan from Shels so he also will be missing. Shelbourne welcome back Stuart Byrne to midfield after his ban but they will be missing Wes Hoolahan and Jim Crawford.
