Last year's cup finalists Longford Town have been handed one of the most difficult ties of the round as they head to Richmond Park.

There is hope for the midlanders as the in-form Keith Fahey, David Partridge, John Frost and Michael Keane remain out for Pat's.

Michael Keane is back to full training and Stephen Paisley returns to the defence following a groin injury.

The midlanders are without Shay Kelly and Ryan Casey.

Last year:
St Pat's -- Beaten in quarter-final by Bohemians 2-1. Longford -- Beaten in final by Cork City 1-0.

Verdict:
Home win.
