St Patrick's Athl. is set to face Shelbourne in the Dublin derby at Tolka Park this Sunday. The match comes after a hectic recent schedule on the continent for Shelbourne, who have been playing in Europe. Despite the challenges, Shelbourne manager John Russell is energised by his side's efforts in Amsterdam on Thursday night. Speaking to Shels TV, Russell said: "We are really looking forward to the game against St Pat's, I think the way we finished the game against Ajax was important, the effort we showed and the reaction after the penalty save to keep the tie alive was excellent. The performance we showed is definitely something we can build on now and look to take into this Sunday's game." Russell is pleased to have emerged from the game without any renewed injury worries. He also expressed his hope that midfielder Mipo will get 5 or 10 minutes on Sunday depending on how the game unfolds. Odhrán Casey got a run out in Amsterdam too, and that was good to get some more minutes in his legs also. The match will mark the first Dublin derby under Russell's stewardship. "I'm really looking forward to getting back to Tolka Park again. Dublin derbies are massive, fiery occasions and I fully expect that energy to be in the ground on Sunday. We'll need that energy from the home fans again to be able to go and attack the game because we need those 3 points." Shelbourne has been doing well this season, with 42 goals scored and 32 conceded, giving them a +10 goal difference. They are currently 14 points behind leaders Shamrock Rovers in the title race. Their last result was a 1-1 draw against Derry City on August 2. They have a recent form of 2W-1D-2L (DWLWL, most recent first). Their next fixture is against Shamrock Rovers at home on August 16. Kick-off at Tolka Park is at 5pm.
