Good afternoon, welcome to our coverage of today's programme of five Irish Premiership matches on the final Saturday of action before the league splits into the top half and bottom six for the remainder of the season.

As we seem to have been saying every week for the past few months, Crusaders are seven points ahead of Linfield, but Stephen Baxter's side face a tough test away to in-form Coleraine at Ballycastle Road.

Linfield are away to Ballinamallard United as they try to keep up their pursuit of the double champions while Cliftonville, who have now dropped to fourth in the table, entertain fifth-placed Ballymena United, who could draw level on points with the Reds were they to win at Solitude.

Elsewhere, Ards are at home to Glenavon and Portadown welcome Dungannon Swifts to Shamrock Park.
