    There are shades of Larne's performance against Cliftonville in the Irish Cup semi-final in this display so far, they just haven't been able to get going.

    Linfield will be keen to add a second goal while they're on top.

    Linfield 1-0 Larne

    Mark Randall's pass finds Andy Ryan, who travels through midfield and into the box, with his resulting strike taking a deflection off Chris Shields to give the away side a corner.

    Can they find a quick equaliser?

    Linfield 0-0 Larne

    Linfield fail to create a goalscoring opportunity through two corners in quick succession.

    Will they regret not taking advantage of chances like that at the full-time whistle?

    It has been one-way traffic in the opening 15 minutes for Larne, with Linfield playing like a team that really needs to win. Lee Bonis and Andy Ryan are cutting isolated figures.

    Linfield 0-0 Larne

    Braiden Graham has a good opportunity to have a shot on goal, but takes too much time which gives the Larne defence time to deal with the danger.

    It's been a lively start to this game.

    Larne break down the left flank and Leroy Millar plays the ball across to Jaziel Orozco with his strike being deflected away by Chris Shields.

    For me, there's not much in that. He gets there first, but my first thought was McKee made a slight meal of it.

  17. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 19:50 British Summer Time 22 April

    Linfield 0-0 Larne

    The home fans are appealing that their side should have a penalty after Chris McKee fell under the challenge of Leroy Millar, but referee Tony Clarke waves away the appeals.

    Kirk Millar picks up the first yellow card of what has been a feisty game so far.

    What an occasion. We have seen so much drama and it's all come down to this tonight.

  20. Enthralling title race reaching a climaxpublished at 19:46 British Summer Time 22 April

    Lauren McCann
    BBC Sport NI at Windsor Park

    We have been treated to quite the title race this season and it is up to Linfield now to win tonight to take the drama to the final day.

    Last year, Larne wrapped up their first ever Gibson Cup win with two games to spare and 83 points proved enough to send the title to Inver Park.

    It hasn't been as plain sailing this time round, as despite the fact they have amassed 86 points, Linfield are still on their coat tails and ready to pounce at a slip-up.

    If Larne manage to win tonight and against Coleraine they will finish the season on 92 points, the highest tally ever amassed in the Irish Premiership and a feat which would highlight their consistency throughout the season.
