A win for Glentoran today at the Coleraine Showgrounds will take Declan Devine's side up to fourth at the expense of Crusaders, but they face a difficult assignment against a home side that iare slowly coming back into form.

Oran Kearney's men are unbeaten in six, but their issue is turning recent draws into wins.

After last weeks draw against Cliftonville, the Bannsiders make one change to their starting line-up.

Andrew Scott drops to the bench and his place is taken by 16-year old Aidan Tejada.

Tejada is being hugely tipped for a big future, and is one to keep an eye on for the remainder of the season.

After announcing that he is returning to Glenavon at the season's end, Rhys Marshall is named in defence as Declan Devine aims to keep his unbeaten league run in-tact.

Coleraine: Brown, Kane, D Jarvis, Kelly, Shevlin, Carson, O'Donnell, Glackin, J Scott, McGonigle, Tejada.

Subs: Gallagher, A Jarvis, McDaid, Farren, Lynch, A Scott, Devine.

Glentoran: McCarey, McCullough, Burns, Marshall, Singleton, Sule, Fisher, McClean, Russell, McGinn, Uzokwe.

Subs: Webber, Kane, McCartan, Donnelly, O'Connor, Murphy, Lindsay.

The destiny of the title is still in Larne's hands but they must beat Cliftonville in the late kick-off (17:30 BST) to reclaim top spot.

That's because Linfield popped up with a last-gasp winner against Crusaders last night to sit on the Premiership summit ahead of this evening's showdown at Inver Park, with you can watch live here.

We've four tasty fixtures to enjoy before that including Coleraine taking on Glentoran at the Showgrounds.

Newry City continue their bid to avoid finishing bottom with a home meeting against Dungannon's while 11th-place Ballymena United make the short trip to face Carrick Rangers.

Loughgall sit seventh but they are just two points clear of Glenavon and the teams meet at Lakeview Park.
