  8. The 15 seconds that flipped the Irish Premiership title racepublished at 19:26 British Summer Time 22 April

    Linfield v Larne (19:45 BST)

    It was the 15 seconds that changed everything.

    Even by the Irish Premiership's lofty standards, the conclusion of Tuesday's action could not have been any more dramatic, with Larne scoring a late winner against Glentoran and Linfield conceding a late equaliser against Coleraine.

    Those results handed the initiative in this pulsating title race to Larne, but their boss Tiernan Lynch knows that nothing is won yet, whilst his Linfield counterpart David Healy will try rally his troops after the midweek sucker punch.

    Read from both managers ahead of the big game tonight here.

  9. Title decider at Windsorpublished at 19:22 British Summer Time 22 April

    Linfield v Larne (19:45 BST)

    Good evening and welcome to our coverage of tonight's huge game in the race for the Irish Premiership.

    Linfield face champions Larne at Windsor Park, a game that is live on BBC Two NI, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.

    Following Tuesday's dramatic results, Larne have the upper hand heading into the last two games of the season.

    If Larne win tonight, they will retain the Gibson Cup.

    If the game ends in a draw, the race is all but over due to their vastly superior goal difference.

    For David Healy's Linfield, they must win and then hope Tiernan Lynch's side slip up at home to Coleraine on the final day.

    There is a lot on the line and we will have you covered with live text commentary and in-play clips of all the action.

    Thanks for joining us - enjoy!
