Eircom League Preview: Derry City can reclaim the lofty title of Premier Division leaders with a win over St Patrick’s Athletic at the Brandywell this evening.

Stephen Kenny’s men will be fielding a strong side, with Gary Beckett and Kevin Deery both fit again, although Killian Brennan, suffering with a knee injury, may face a last minute fitness test. Barry Molloy, sent off during last week’s win in Bray, is suspended for the rest of the season.

St Pat’s, seeking a third victory in a row, also look healthy and the team will be unchanged from the eleven who overcame Shamrock Rovers last week.

In tonight’s only other Premier Division fixture, UCD travel to Flancare Park to face a Longford Town side fighting for pride alone after a disheartening season.

Longford striker Dessie Baker misses the game through suspension, while the students have to look to their under-21s to make up the numbers, with Alan McNally (hamstring), Stephen Hurley (ankle) and Anto Murphy (calf) all ruled out.

In the First Division, Dublin City take on Monaghan United, Dundalk face Cobh Ramblers, Kildare County line out against Kilkenny City, and Athlone Town travel to Sligo.
