Sports Direct Premiership football comes to Seaview for the second time in a week with Dungannon Swifts the visitors on Saturday (3pm) After defeat on Tuesday night Crusaders will want to get the three points to get back into the top six of the table while a Dungannon Swifts win could see them take second spot should they win and Glentoran lose. All to play for both sides in what will beanother smashing game of football.
Declan Caddell will again take a head count of fit players before naming his team but a positive could be the return of Kieran Offord who has missed the last few games with injury and will only be considered if he passes a fitness test. Robbie Weir and Harry Jewitt-White could miss out after being the latest casulaties to join an already massive list and several reserves once again could be named on the bench as the squad is already stretched to the limit. Ross Clarke left the action early on Tuesday night against Larne as a precaution but should start.The rest of the team will probably be the same again as Tuesday and they will have a point to prove. Crusaders will look to the League Cup win over Dungannon Swifts back in December as a bench mark to meet in this one and if they play in such a manner once again they will not be far away from the much needed three points.
