The away side spring forward through Francely Lomboto, who shrugs off Jonny Addis and bursts clean through.

He looks to round PJ Morrison, but the keeper reads it perfectly, spreading himself to smother. Easily the game’s clearest chance.

Shea Gordon has gone into the book for a high foot in the Glenavon penalty area. No complaints from the midfielder.

The visitors threaten from a Jack Malone corner, his inswinger causing panic before the ball ricochets around the six-yard box.

Odhran Casey eventually takes charge, hooking it clear to ease the pressure on the Reds.

Glentoran threaten for the first time this afternoon.

Jordan Stewart with a clever ball down the left flank that finds James Singleton, but his cross is too deep and goes all the way out on the far side for a Carrick throw-in.

Starting debutant Tiernan Kelly's shot from the edge of the box is wide of the right hand post.

Not too much to talk about during the opening 15 minutes.

The hosts with a promising free-kick on the edge of the area.

Michael Glynn steps up, gets the ball up and over the wall well, but it just won't dip in time and sails over for a goal-kick. The former Larne man will be disappointed not to have hit the target from there.

Stephen Mallon weaves through the middle of the park and lays it off to Paul McGovern.

The frontman takes aim with a first-time effort from outside the box, but it's a tame one, rolling harmlessly wide of the post.

Evenly balanced at the Oval so far.

Both sides struggling to get any kind of passing game going due to the stormy conditions.

Although we don't tend to like the rain I'd say the players will not mind it in terms of the conditions for this match to be played.

Harry Wilson finds a yard of space outside the area and decides to pull the trigger from 20 yards out.

It's a low drive, but it's straight at Jacob Carney, who gets down easily to gather.

A Dungannon corner is misjudged by multiple blue shirts at the edge of the box and is cleared by the home side.

I think the fact that it is absolutely chucking it down will have an impact on the game here.

There's a real change in shape for the Reds.

Jim Magilton has favoured a back three since his appointment, but today his side are lined up in a four.

Odhran Casey has been moved from defence into midfield, and you'd imagine he's been tasked with adding a bit more physicality and thrust to the engine room.

Bangor 0-0 Dungannon Swifts

There is an early stoppage in play after a clash of heads between Danny Wallace and Ben Cushnie.

After treatment, both are able to continue though.

Jack Malone gets the ball rolling, and we're off in north Belfast.

Aidan Steele of Carrick gets the ball rolling at a soggy Oval.

One of these team's 100% record will go this afternoon, who will it be? We are about to find out.

We're under way at Clandeboye Park.

Can Dungannon Swifts pick up their first three points of the season or will Bangor register their second home league win of the campaign?

Jim Magilton makes four changes after the Reds' narrow defeat at Windsor Park, with Jonny Addis and Darien Wauchope brought into defence, Michael Glynn returning from suspension, and Joe Gormley restored in attack. Ryan Curran, Shaun Leppard, Conor Barr and Eric McWoods drop out.

Paddy McLaughlin reshuffles following last week’s 2-1 loss to Coleraine, handing starts to Ben Wilson and Francely Lomboto, while Jordan McMullan and Michael O’Connor miss out altogether.

Loanee signings Bridel Boaskani and Josh Kee take their places on the bench and could make debuts this afternoon.

Somethings don't change in Belfast, one of those things is the weather - it is absolutely teeming down at the Oval - and the other thing today is the lineups of these two sides.

Both Glentoran boss Declan Devine and Stephen Baxter of Carrick Rangers name unchanged teams from last week's games against Crusaders and Dungannon Swifts respectively.

The Glens top the table with four wins from four, with Rangers three positions back, but they too have a 100% record from their three outings.

Devine will be glad to see David Fisher and Pat Hoban return to the bench today to add some attacking impetus if required.

Former Glentoran defender Luke McCullough captains Baxters men also.

Glentoran: Mills, Cooney, Kane (c), Kelly, Palmer, Stewart, McEleney, Burt, Amos, Singleton, Jenkins.

Subs: Urminsky, Fisher, Douglas, Hoban, Ferris, Lindsay, Russell.

Carrick Rangers: Gartside, Callacher, Gibson, Lecky, McCullough (c), Steele, Crowe, P Heatley, Snoddy, McKay, Scott.

Subs: Pengelly, Burns, Waide, Maciulaitis, Buchanan-Rolleston, Boyd, Cherry.
