Finn Harps v Bohemians 19:45
Bohemians - nine points behind but with two games in hand - can narrow the gap on Eircom Premier leaders Shelbourne tonight when they take on Finn Harps. But they won't find Finn Park an easy place to pick up points - just ask Shels!
Harps have strung together three consecutive draws in the league, conceding just two goals in the process - and that includes holding Shelbourne scoreless at the Ballybofey venue last time out.
Bohs won't be helped by the loss of midfield dynamo Kevin Hunt and central defender Shaun Maher. Hunt (twisted ankle) and Bournemouth-target Maher (virus) are almost certainly non-starters.
In addition, strikers Glen Crowe and Alex Nesovic and centre back Dave Hill are all carrying knocks.
Harps' main worry is playmaker Fergal Harkin, who has an ankle injury. But full back Jonathan Minnock is back from suspension and should slot in at the expense of Trevor Scanlon, who played just his fourth game of the season against Shelbourne.
