Crusaders could possibly mix the side up for this game and use the full strength of the squad. Several players who may have niggles or knocks may not start the game and those who have spent time on the bench could be in line to get a start. No matter who plays it will still be a strong side and the expectation to win is still the priority. Stephen will look at everyone he has at his disposal and assess who he thinks can make the difference and it will certainly give some a chance who have waited patiently to show what they can do.
Glentoran could go down the same path and use the squad depth. Warren Feeney will be looking to progress and win his first trophy as Glentoran manager. Crusaders though will have other ideas. Josh Kelly, Harry Murphy and David Fisher may all get a chance while Oliver Webber could start in goals.
