Derry City will get the chance to avenge their FAI Ford Cup defeat tonight when they take on Bohemians at Dalymount Park.

It took a penalty shoot-out to give victory to Bohemians when the sides met in the FAI Ford Cup final last November in a superb match.

However, Derry City boss Stephen Kenny says that his team have moved on from that defeat and will now be concentrating on getting an early win over one of their title rivals.

"I think this is separate," he said. "This is a league game and the players will be determined regardless. They’ve worked extremely hard and now they want to be playing matches and they want to be in the cutting edge of games. It’s something to look forward to. We’ll bring a decent crowd. We have Bohs, Cork and Rovers in our next three, all exciting games and this is the next one in Dalymount and we’ll have to be at our best.

"Bohs are everyone’s favourites to win the league but we wouldn’t be fearful of them at all. We’ve shown a capacity to go down to Dalymount and win. It’s a tough game and people will expect them to win. They only lost two games last season and one of them was to us in Dalymount. They’re obviously the top side and the team to beat this season. We have to improve. We played well against Drogheda but there’s obviously a big difference, so we have to up it but we are well capable of doing that."
