Candystripes boss Stephen Kenny said: “We don't see Bohs conceding many goals this season as they have a good defence and are a tight unit.

“They are always dangerous at set plays especially corner kicks. They have Heary, Price, Burns and Anto Flood who all attack well."

For Bohemians, Christy Fagan (hamstring) and Glenn Cronin (knee) are still some weeks from a return.

Ollie Cahill (hamstring) is likely to be available for selection but Mark Rossiter is not expected to be fit.

Bohs manager Pat Fenlon said: "Some of the younger lads have got to learn. We switched off from set pieces last time out. These are things, we are hoping, with a bit of experience that they can pick up on.”
