Waterford FC make a swift return to action this evening in the Airtricity League Premier Division.

The Blues make the long journey North to take on Derry City for the third time this season.

Waterford ended a poor run of form with a morale boosting 2-1 victory away to UCD last Friday night with Dean Walsh netting a spectacular winner.

Derry got the better of the Blues by 3 goals to 2 when they met back in February, while the sides played out a thrilling 2-all draw at the RSC in April.

Speaking after Friday's win in Dublin, Blues boss Alan Reynolds says Derry will be keen to turn things around after their derby defeat to Finn Harps last Friday; "I'm sure they'll be looking to turn things around, hopefully we'll have Kenny Browne back as well".
