Linfield vs Coleraine: Irish Premiership

The current top two go head to head for a second time this season in an eagerly anticipated clash under the lights at Windsor Park.

The first meeting, back in September, ended in a comprehensive win for Linfield who remain unbeaten since an opening day loss here to Ballymena United.

Coleraine have responded well to that setback, however, and are unbeaten in their five games since.

Linfield head coach David Healy makes just one change to the team which started last weekend's 1-1 draw at home to Dungannon Swifts as the suspended Ethan McGee is replaced by Sean Brown.

Bannsiders boss Ruaidhri Higgins also goes for the bare minimum as Aidan Wilson returns from injury to replace Senan Devine from the team which started last Friday night's draw with Glentoran.

Linfield: Johns, Shields (c), McClean, Frizzell, Nelson, Hall, Brennan, Brown, Baird, Fitzpatrick, McCullough.

Subs: Gavin, Nolan, Millar, Wells, Mulgrew, Moore, Leahy.

Coleraine: Webb, Stewart, Patching, Shevlin, Cooper (c), Ives, Wilson, McDonald, Wylie, Doherty, Tonks.

Subs: Schofield, Boyle, McGregor, Henderson, Brooks, Thomson, Dunne.
