Crusaders are back off up the Frosses Road on Saturday for their second visit in eight days to Coleraine Showgrounds to play Coleraine. This time it is in the Sports Direct Premiership and the two sides meet in contrasting fortunes.
Mega money Coleraine are chasing Larne at the top of the table while Crusaders are fighting hard in the lower half of the table with a reduced budget but this will mean nothing when they go “toe to toe” at 3pm. New signing Cammy Price should make his full debut for Crusaders in this game after coming on as sub last Friday night while Jordan Forsythe could return after breaking his nose on Boxing Day. Coleraine have the luxury of changing like for like if anyone needs rested and will be looking to close the gap on Larne as soon as possible.
