Friday night football this week for Crusaders as second plays third when they travel to Larne for the latest Danske Banlk Premiership. It is a massive contest for both clubs as they look to stay close to Glentoran at the top and both sides will certainly give it a go.
Crusaders go into the game in positive form and another win last week will have pleased Stephen Baxter no end. Despite two penalty misses Crusaders controlled the game against Dungannon Swifts and this weeks training has been equally positive and the squad are ready. Ben Kennedy, Josh Robinson and Brandon Doyle are still long term absentees but the rest of the team are ready and we wait to see who makes the starting XI. Larne will want to bounce back immediately after losing 4-0 to Glentoran last week and Tiernan Lynch may ring changes in the hope of getting a reaction. It was their first defeat of the season and they will be keen to get back to winning ways so the game will be action from the start.
Crusaders and Larne have already met once this season with a draw between the sides
