St Patrick's Athletic will aim to keep their title chase on track when they host Dublin rivals Bohemians in a rearranged game at Richmond Park, kick-off 7.45pm.

The sides' Europa League commitments forced the postponement of the original fixture on 15 July.

St Pat's manager Pete Mahon is expecting another tight game between the sides, with the two games this season producing just one goal.

Mahon said: "Games between us have been very close since I've been at Pat's. Bohs are a dangerous attacking side and with players such as Killian Brennan and Christy Fagan will cause any team problems.

"I'm really looking forward to [the] game. We haven't had a great third series of games, but we know that victory will leave us in a good position going into the last series.

"Unfortunately the game clashes with a big fixture across the water, but I'm hoping supporters from both sides will come out to create a great atmosphere for what is always an entertaining game."

The home side will have Sean O'Connor available again after a calf injury, but there are doubts over Danny North (ribs) and Derek Doyle (calf).

Bohs, who still have an outside chance of securing a European spot, will be without Owen Heary (suspension) and Stephen Traynor (ankle), while Keith Buckley (nose) is doubtful.
