SHELBOURNE
Shelbourne welcome Cabinteely to Tolka Park on Monday evening for the second time in four days, following a 1-1 draw in the league against the South Dublin side on Friday night.
Former Cabo striker Sodiq Oguntola scored Shels' equaliser on the night after Michael Brown had put the visitors into a second-half lead to earn Kevin Doherty's side their first points of the season. They'll aim to register their first competitive win of the year on Monday.
Aidan Collins is the only notable absentee for Shels after suffering a nasty shoulder injury in the game on Friday.
CABINTEELY
Cabo's strong start to the season continued on Friday as the predicted strugglers made it four points from three games at Tolka Park.
Having beaten UCD at the same stage last season in their first-ever cup game in senior football, Eddie Gormley's side will be looking to repeat the trick as they once again travel to fellow First Division opposition.
Gormley will welcome Oscar Brennan back after the midfielder missed Friday's encounter through suspension.
Referee: Robert Harvey.

Cabinteely beat UCD in a memorable game at the UCD Bowl last year, thanks to Shane O'Neill's injury time goal, before falling to Shamrock Rovers in the second round.
