Linfield head East to face PLAYR-FIT Championship side Dundela at Wilgar Park in the First Round of the BetMcLean Cup (7.45pm k.o. cash gate)

Dundela under Stephen Gourley have made a steady start to the season, sitting in 3rd place in the Championship table, and in their last outing they shared the points in a 1-1 draw with Newington.

One to watch for The Duns is former Linfield striker Michael McLellan who has 3 goals from his last 2 games. 

Linfield strengthened their lead at the top of the Sports Direct Premiership table with a convincing 3-0 win at Coleraine at the weekend. The Blues will be looking for more of the same as they begin the defence of the BetMcLean Cup trophy against experienced Dundela.

It will be no surprise if David Healy shuffles his pack ahead of the 'Big Two' derby with Glentoran at Windsor Park on Friday night.

COYB!
