Finn Harps travel to the Brandywell tonight to take on neighbours Derry City looking for three points that could ease relegation worries for boss Paul Hegarty, kick-off 7.45pm.

Ciaran Martyn is the only player missing from City boss Stephen Kenny's squad as he is struggling with an ankle injury.

For Harps, Stephen Parkhouse returns from suspension and is expected to go straight into the team.

Davy Byrne is a slight doubt while Gary Beckett and Cornelius Gallagher remain sidelined.

Hegarty said: "We've had a go at Derry when we played them this season and have been unlucky in our couple of league games with them.

"Maybe on Friday we'll get a bit of luck that we don't seem to get too often. I've an idea about how I'll play it on Friday but to tell you the truth, there will be no great surprises to it."
