As the battle in the Sports Direct Premiership heats up Crusaders are at home on Saturday to Coleraine (3pm) as they look to move back into the top three of the Premiership. A good performance last week against Glentoran and a point keeps the momentum going for Stephen Baxters side while Coleraine lost to Cliftonville last time out and they will be looking back to winning ways once again.
Crusaders will be without Josh Robinson who was sent off last week so we will see a shuffle across the back to plug that hole. Barring any injuries we should see little change in the starting XI for this game given the sides performance against Glentoran. Ross Clarke and Paul Heatley will be wide men while Ben Kennedy, Philip Lowry and Adam Lecky will be the players who will be there to hopefully score the goals. Johnny Tuffey continues in nets and will be looking to have another Man Of The Match performance similar to last week. Three points will be the only option for this one and Stephen Baxter will get this across before they leave the dressing room.
Coleraine will be out to avenge the 4-0 defeat Crusaders inflicted the last time they met at the Coleraine Showgrounds. Oran Kearneys side are struggling to get a run going but it could click on Saturday and Crusaders will need to be ready. Matthew Shevlin misses the game through suspension but Conor McKendry is their main goal scoring threat. Others to watch are Lyndon Kane, Dean Jarvis and Stephen Lowry if they play.
