FAI Cup: Derry City host Drogheda at Brandywell tonight

Derry City manager Kenny Shiels has a full strength squad to choose from ahead of the Candy Stripes’ FAI Cup second round clash at Brandywell tonight (kick off 7.45pm).

City go into the game as favourites to see off the challenge of the First Division as they aim to lift the trophy for the first time since 2012.

However, having never lost to Drogheda in the FAI Cup and being undefeated in their last six games against them, Shiels (pictured) is taken nothing for granted.

Pointing to the fact the Drogs have won their last four games and moved up to second place in the First Division, he said; "They are a very good side with good players and have confidence throughout the team at the minute.

"It's not an easy fixture but if we minimise mistakes we've a really good chance of going through."

He concluded: "We've seen them and we have done our homework. We must be patient while aggressive and purposeful in our movement."
