The Bannsiders head to North Belfast on the hunt for a fifth consecutive win
Coleraine have been nigh unstoppable of late, having not tasted defeat since their shock 4-0 defeat to Dungannon Swifts last month. Having won four and drawn one of their previous five games Oran Kearney's men are in fine form. In fact that draw came against champions and league leaders Crusaders, which is testament to how good Coleraine have been.

Its a different stiory for Saturday's opposition, with Cliftonville in dire need of some consistency. The Reds have lost three of their last four, so a confident Bannsiders may be the last thing the Gerard Lyttle wants to see at Solitude. In fact Coleraine have won the last two meetings between the sides, so recent history will give Cliftonville no cause for optimism.
Cliftonville's biggest test against the Stripes could be in defence. The Bannsiders have scored 12 goals in their last four outings, although they certainly aren't easily broken down either. In the same period, Coleraine's miserly defence has only conceded one solitary goal. Cliftonville will be desperate for a result though, next up for the Reds is the small matter of the North Belfast Derby with Crusaders.
Kick off is at 3pm on Saturday at Solitude
