Linfield make the short trip across Belfast to face Crusaders at Seaview (3pm k.o. all-ticket). The teams have already met twice this season, both at Windsor Park, with Linfield winning 1-0 and 4-0.
Crusaders have endured a challenging season and sit 10th in the Sports Direct Premiership table, just 1 point above the relegation zone. In their last outing they lost 5-1 at Coleraine and Manager Declan Caddell has been active in the transfer market with Cameron Boyce (Airdrieonians) and Thomas Maguire (Dungannon Swifts) arriving as experienced duo Ross Clarke and Jarlath O’Rourke depart for Glentoran.
David Healy has also bolstered his squad with Adam Frizzell and Darragh Leahy arriving from Derry City and Waterford FC respectively, as Callumn Morrison returns to Scotland (Dunfermline Athletic). The Blues Manager will be looking for a return to winning ways after goalless draws with Carrick Rangers and Larne.
COYB!
