Keely in unlikely to feel any great urge to meddle with his team despite them having dropped points for the first time in six weeks. Everybody bar Stephen Geoghegan (right) - who will be out for at least three to four weeks after damaging knee ligaments in training - is fit and available but an unchanged line up looks a good bet.
City, meanwhile, are virtually certain to be unchanged for Kevin Mahon will not want to upset anything after his side recorded their first home win since the defeat of Finn Harps back in September.
Liam Coyle and Paddy McLaughlin will both be missing again and Mahon will stick with Peter Hutton in central midfield and Darren Kelly and Joe Harkin in central defence and after three turned in good performances in the win over Shamrock Rovers.
