Runaway league leaders Cork City host mid-table Limerick this Friday night at Turners Cross hoping to maintain their unbeaten record so far this season.
The Leesiders have been unstoppable so far, dropping just one point at the midway point of this campaign. Although he will feature this weekend, the leaders will need to learn to cope without star striker Sean Maguire, who will complete a move to Preston in the near future. His goals so far this season have translated in to 12 points for the Southerners.
Limerick are coming off the back of an eight goal thriller that went in their favour after they beat Bray Wanderers 5-3 at Markets Field a fortnight ago.
Both games between these two sides this season have finished 3-0 in favour of Cork City.
