Linfield are back on home soil for Match 25 of the Sports Direct Premiership with Cliftonville the visitors to Windsor Park (5.30pm k.o. all ticket). This is the third meeting of the season between the teams.

Jim Magilton brings his men to Windsor following a 2-0 home win over Loughgall which brought to a halt a run of 4 League defeats in a row and a 5th place spot in the congested mid-table area of the table.

Linfield maintained pole position at the top the table with a deserved 3-1 win at Portadown, with the talismanic Joel Cooper bagging himself a first half hattrick on a difficult playing surface to send the large contingent of travelling Linfield supporters back to Belfast in high spirits.

The Blues will expect another tough 90 minutes against a determined Cliftonville side, and both of these great rivals will pay tribute to the much-missed Michael Newberry.

COYB!
