Crusaders are off down the M1 this week and the destination is Stangmore Park wher Dungannon Swifts await in the latest game in the Danske Bank Premiership. Crusaders are going into the game on a high after another good win against Portadown last week and if all fit there could be little change in the lineup. Adam Lecky is on a good scoring run with four in two games and McCauley Snelgrove got off the mark on his full debut also so they will certainly be in with a shout of the eleven that starts. Bem Kennedy, Brandon and Gary Thompson continue their recovery and will not be included while Paul Heatley has nearly served his suspension. Dean Shiels will urge his Swifts side to turn their form around and Crusaders will be ready for that when they take the field.. Eight places separate the two sides and nineteen points but that means nothing and all cases will be covered before kick off. Last time out Swifts drew 1-1 with Ballymena United when they took the lead first but United equalised soon after.
