Linfield head to North Belfast to face Cliftonville in a top of the table clash at Solitude on Matchday 7 of the Sports Direct Premiership (7.45pm k.o.). 

There is plenty at stake with both teams level on 13 points and separated only by goal difference. 

In their last outing The Reds were rampant, winning 5-1 at Loughgall. With the departures of forward trio Ronan Hale, Sam Ashford and Ben Wilson, Manager Jim Magilton looks towards talisman striker Joe Gormley to keep adding to his club record total of 264 goals. 

Linfield were left disappointed at the weekend after falling to their first league defeat of the season with visitors Larne scoring the only goal of the game. David Healy's men will line up at Solitude determined to make a speedy return to winning ways. The Blues will need to fire on all cylinders at a ground which is always difficult to take the points away from. 

It promises to be a feisty encounter with both sets of supporters cranking up the decibel levels from the stands.

COYB!
