It's another big night of football at Seaview on Friday when Larne are the visitors in the latest game of the Danske Bank Premiership. (7.45pm)
Crusaders will be looking to go three wins in three and four in five as they aim to go top for a few hours at least and send a message to everyone they are getting into a good run. Stephen Baxter may have new signing Mccauley Snelgrove available subject to clearance but he still has a great pool of talent to choose from. Ben Kennedy will again be missing as will Brandon Doyle but everyone else should be in contention for a starting spot or a place on the bench. Larne will also be out to win and to keep their unbeaten record intact so Crusaders know they will have a game on their hands. Tiernan Lynch has had a few “ins and outs” over the close season and will be waiting for clearance also on his new signing Shaun Wants. Larne have high expectations again going into the season with the big budget they have, and they should be challenging at the top.
Crusaders and Larne met four times last year with both sides winning two each
