Will the Giants be reproducing the Causeway Call at the end of this game?

Just 19 hours after a big 2-1 win over the Elite League leaders Guildford Flames the SSE Arena will be full again for a Sunday afternoon tilt with the Fife Flyers.

Another victory for the Giants would pull them to within two points of the Flames at the top of the standings heading into next weekend's break.

The Flyers are battling for a play-off place and are currently 9th, outside looking in, so they are desperate for the two points for different reasons.

Jackson Whistle starts between the pipes for the Giants and is backed up by Andrew Dickson so Adam Keefe can play all his import forwards including Donovan Neuls who was a healthy scratch last night.

The Giants are 4-0 against the Flyers in the league and 2-0 in the Challenge Cup pool stages so will be heavy favourite in today's game but on any given day in this league any team can beat any other.

Giants coach Adam Keefe knows that - play the video to see what he had to say after last night's win over Guildford and see the goals as well including the game winner from Henrik Eriksson, his first as a Giant.
