See how Cameron Stewart put Linfield 1-0 up against Glentoran at the Oval.

Cameron Stewart has a great chance from the position similar from where he just scored - but this time steers the ball wide of the target.

A Gareth McConnachie clearance almost deflects off Matthew Shevlin into the Coleraine net.

Ross Glendinning saves well from Jamie McGonigle in a one-on-one situation.

Best chance of the game so far. Great stop by Glendinning.

Glentoran 0-0 Linfield

Glentoran keeper Elliott Morris has been receiving lengthy treatment for what looks like a back or hip problem. He's up and battling on - just as well for the Glens because they don't have a keeper on the bench.

Glentoran's Jonathan Smith has the ball in the net - but not before an offside flag was raised.

Glentoran 0-0 Linfield

Linfield skipper Jamie Mulgrew is an early casualty at the Oval, limping off injured. Stephen Lowry is the replacement coming off the Blues bench.

Kick-off is delayed by five minutes at Ballycastle Road because of crowd congestion - a massive crowd filing their way into the Showgrounds.

Coleraine's amazing sequence of form this year has seen them lose just three league fixtures throughout 2017 - defeats by Linfield and Crusaders at the tail end of last season, and then a solitary loss to Linfield in the present campaign.

In fact, Linfield and Crusaders are the only Premiership teams to see off Oran Kearney's high-flyers throughout the current calendar year in any domestic competition.

Ballymena beat Coleraine 2-0 at the Warden Street Showgrounds 12 months ago but the four meetings between the sides since then have yielded two victories for the Bannsiders and two drawn encounters.

Ballinamallard manager Gavin Dykes says everyone at the Ferney Park club must up their game if they are to move off the bottom of the table.

This year's north Belfast Boxing Day derby pits two of the league's form sides against each other at Seaview.

The Crues are unbeaten in 15 outings in all competitions, having won 14 of those. Their last league defeat came back on 14 October.

Cliftonville have suffered just two defeats in 13 games, their top-flight run of 11 victories from 12 matches marred somewhat by Saturday's loss to Linfield. The Reds had been unbeaten in seven before that reverse at Windsor Park.

Crusaders have won both meetings between the clubs this season - in the league and the County Antrim Shield.

In 2009 only one top flight match survived the big freeze - thanks to the plastic pitch at Seaview.

And what an unforgettable afternoon it proved to be as Crusaders finished with seven men against Cliftonville's 10.

Crues boss Stephen Baxter also got a red card from referee Adrian McCourt during a match which saw Cliftonville emerge 2-1 winners.
