Derry City v Shelbourne
Derry quartet Barry Molloy, Ken Oman, Killian Brennan and Ruaidhri Higgins return from bans for the Premier Division title showdown (1945 BST). City striker Gary Beckett is also back after missing Friday's draw with Drogheda to be with his wife as she gave birth to a baby girl. Owen Heary (hamstring) is a doubt for the leaders, who are six points ahead of Derry but with an extra game played. \"If we win we're in a strong position,\" said City boss Stephen Kenny. Shels defender Colin Hawkins will be available for the Brandywell clash after serving a suspension. \"If we lose we would find it hard to come back from that,\" added Kenny. \"In a run of eight games in 24 games the players have been remarkable just to stay in touch. \"But we have shown tremendous strength in adversity this season, bounced back when we've had to and shown great resilience. \"A victory puts us right back in it and we will not be looking back if we get the three points.\"
