What a chance for the away side!

Adam Towe tries his luck from 25-yards with his effort narrowly wide.

Loughgall haven't had many chances so far but they very nearly broke the deadlock there.

Some lovely play from Linfield debutant Alejandro Rodriguez Gorrin who has looked calm and composed on the ball since being introduced at half-time.

The former Oxford United man makes a 50-yard run before playing a clever one-two with Callumn Morrison, but the ball escapes Gorrin and Glenavon regroup.

Danny Gibson swings in a cross from the right that has Daniel Gyollai in the Glens' goal worried for a second, and the big Hungarian takes no chances it tipping it behind for a corner.

The corner is overhit and runs away to safety.

Cliftonville's Harry Wilson picks up the first yellow card of the game for impeding Conor Barr.

A flurry of activity from Cliftonville as Patrick McEleney clears the ball off the line for Ballymena and from the follow-up, keeper Sean O'Neill pushes Alex Parsons' fierce shot behind for a corner.

Ethan Devine heads wide from a Kian Corbally corner with Ballymena again starting the second half on the front foot.

David Walsh is called into action early in the second half as he gets down to his left to make a good save from a Peter Campbell strike.

Bright start to the second half from the visitors.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Offord on soon to give Linfield a bit more of a punch up front.

Joe Thomson with a strike from 25 yards for the visitors but it trundles safely through for Jack McIntyre to gather.

The action resumes at Seaview.

The away side make another change and bring on Benji Magee for Alberto Balde.

We're back underway at Windsor Park for the second half.

David Healy makes two changes at the break as Euan East is introduced, as is Alejandro Rodriguez Gorrin for his Linfield debut after signing during the week.

Cameron Ballantyne and Josh Archer are the players replaced.

Who will get the better of this one in the second period of 45 minutes?

I think Larne will end up pipping Glentoran to second. Glentoran have hit a bad patch, and it seems like it is Larne's time to peak.

Neither manager has opted for any changes and we're back underway at the Showgrounds with the same players who finished the first period.

Carrick get us back under way.

I don't think the pitch is helping Cliftonville, it is hard and bobbly and stopping them from playing their style of football. Jim Ervin will say same again, hopefully they can push on and get the goal.

It has been a scrappy game, it lacks real quality. It is suiting Carrick that stop-start nature of it on a difficult surface.

No goals to tell you about so far at Seaview.

The home side have had multiple chances to break the deadlock. As for Loughgall, they have struggled to test Jonny Tuffey in the opening 45.

Goalless at the break.

Not the most entertaining of games so far but Paddy McLaughlin will probably be the happier of the two managers at the break.

All to play for in the second half.

Half-time at Taylors Avenue, and it is still scoreless at the break.

Glentoran have hit the woodwork twice and have looked the more dangerous, but it is still all to play for in the second period.

David Walsh does well to save a fierce David Toure strike from just outside the area, making it look like a comfortable save when in reality it wasn't.

Toure catches his shot really well with his right foot but Walsh is equal to it.
