Good afternoon and welcome to another action-packed afternoon of Irish Premiership action with four 15:00 GMT kick-offs followed by a 17:30 encounter between Portadown and Larne under the lights at Shamrock Park.

Leaders Linfield enjoy a mammoth 17-point lead at the top of the table following Glentoran's 2-1 win over Coleraine on Friday night but could restore that cushion to 20 if they can overcome bottom-of-the-table Loughgall at Windsor Park.

As the battle for European places continues, third-placed Dungannon Swifts aim to get back to winning ways after picking up just one point from their past three league outings, when they face struggling 11th-placed Carrick Rangers at Stangmore Park.

Crusaders in fourth are at home to Ballymena United and Cliftonville, fresh from their midweek victory over Carrick, travel to Mourneview Park to face Glenavon.

Larne will look to further improve their position in the standings - they currently sit fourth - when they take on the Ports in the late kick-off.
