UCD entertain Cork City in tonight’s eircom League of Ireland Premier Division clash at Belfield Park, kick-off 7.45pm.

UCD will be without Shane Fitzgerald and Paul Crowley, who is out for the remainder of the season.

“We’re going to make a couple of changes to the side,” said UCD manager Pete Mahon.

“We’ve had a lot of midweek fixtures with no chance to rest. We’ll bring in a few players that haven’t had as much of a chance [as others] to play in the first team.”

Tonight’s game gives Damien Richardson’s Cork side the opportunity to move clear of both St Pat’s and Shamrock Rovers into second place.

Richardson once again has virtually a full strength side to choose from with Darragh Ryan (pelvic Injury) the only confirmed absentee.

John O’Flynn was substituted against Shamrock Rovers with a dead leg, and is somewhat of a doubt for the fixture but the City boss remains hopeful that the striker will be available for selection.
