Runaway leaders Cork City travel to the Carlisle Grounds on Sunday evening hoping to extend their lead at the top of the table.
The Leesiders have two games in hand over Dundalk in second, where they can restore their lead to 18 points should they win. Having dropped just one point so far this season, Stephen Caulfield's men have been close to flawless.
Bray are coming off the back of a disappointing 3-0 defeat at home to Dundalk. They are in third position at the moment, but a defeat to the leaders could see them slip as far as fifth if results elsewhere don't go in their favour.
The last time these sides met Cork unsurprisingly ran out winners thank to a 2-1 victory at Turners Cross.
