Second vs. third as the Blues head to the Showgrounds to take on a Coleraine side unbeaten in five
Linfield suffered their first league defeat of the season last week at Solitude, and now face an in-form Coleraine side. The Bannsiders sit third in the table and could potentially leapfrog the visitors from Belfast.
Oran Kearney's men picked up a 1-0 win away to Portadown last Saturday and will hope to build on that this week. The visit of Linfield to the Showgrounds is always a good contest with plenty of atmosphere.

Linfield missed the opportunity to go top in midweek, and will be wary that they could finish the day in fourth should other results go against them. One defeat for David Healy's side scarcely constitutes a crisis, however no team with title aspirations will want to make a habit out of losing.
Kick off at the Showgrounds is at 3pm
