Oman a doubt for Rovers
Derry City and Shamrock Rovers will each be looking to return to winning ways after recent frustrations when they meet at the Brandywell tonight (kick off: 7.45pm).
The Hoops have drawn their last three league fixtures while the Candystripes have had a stop-start spells of results recently.
Derry are without the suspended Conor Murphy but Ruaidhri Higgins should return from suspension. Stewart Greacen, Kevin Deery and Rory Patterson have been on the injury list recently.
Rovers are without Aaron Greene (knee) while Ken Oman will do a fitness test before the game.
Graham Gartland is also a doubt with a back concern.
Hoops boss Stephen Kenny says his side will be going all-out for the win.
"It is a big opportunity for us," he said. "If we win we can reduce the gap between ourselves and the league leaders to seven points. We need to go out and play well and take that opportunity.
"There is no doubt that we will be looking to win the game against Derry.”
Derry City boss Declan Devine said: "This league is very close and if a team can string together a few wins then they could be in the top three or four."
