Bohemians will travel to Turners Cross on Monday night coming off the back of their most satisfying result of the season against Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght last Friday.
The Gypsies beat their bitter rivals 2-1 thanks to goals from Dinny Corcoran and Ishmahil Akinade in front of a full house at Tallaght Stadium. The victory lifted Keith Long's men up to sixth place in the league standings, with a game in hand over Bray Wanderers which could see them move to within a point of the Seagulls.
Cork claimed yet another league victory following their exit from Europe against Galway United on Friday.
The Leesiders were on the right side of a 2-1 scoreline to maintain their unbeaten run in the league. Possibly suffering from a European hangover, the game was a tense affair where Galway initially took the lead and were frustrating the runaway league leaders.
However, even without the recently departed Sean Maguire and Kevin O' Connor, John Caulfield's side class shone through and they sealed all three points thanks to a Garry Buckley equaliser followed by a Galway own goal.

Cork City manager John Caulfield:"Bohs have been a phenomenal away team this season; their away form has been better than their home form and you saw that on Friday night when that they beat Rovers.
It is going to be a tough game, but there are no excuses at this stage in the season."
