FAI Cup: Preview

Bray Wanderers v Derry City (Carlisle Grounds 7.30)

Both sides will be close to full strength at the Carlisle Grounds where the holders will be desperate to bounce back from their shock defeat against Monaghan United over the weekend.

Pat Devlin may be without influential attacking midfielder Barry O'Connor (the club's top scorer is carrying a hamstring problem and may be rested), but there is better news on the striking front with Jason Byrne recovered from an ankle injury and expected to play some part.

The visitors, meanwhile, travel south on a bit of a high after finally ending Shelbourne's long unbeaten run in the league, and aside from the club's four long-term injuries (Joe Harkin, Shaun Gallagher, James Quigley and Johnny McIvor), Kevin Mahon has a strong panel to choose from with only the suspended Paul Hegarty forced to sit the game out.

Betting: Home: 6/4, Draw: 11/5, Away: 6/4.

Referee: P McKeon (Dublin).

Diego Maradona is due in Cuba today to receive treatment for his cocaine habit, his doctor Alfredo Cahe announced at a press conference in Buenos Aires.

The troubled 39-year-old is flying there with his wife, Vlaudia Villafane, and his parents. Also travelling with him will be a neurologist and heart specialist.

Maradona said on Friday that he would be enchanted to be treated in Cuba, as he has a warm relationship with president Fidel Castro.
