Coleraine FC face a key trip to face Linfield this weekend in a top-of-the-table Premiership clash. The fixture at Windsor Park on Saturday, 7 November, sees the league leaders travel to face their closest challengers.
Coleraine sit first in the table with 35 points from 14 games, having lost just once this season. Their recent form is strong, with four wins and a draw in their last five outings, a sequence that includes a 5-0 demolition of Crusaders. They go into this match two points clear of Linfield, who are second.
The last meeting between these sides was a 3-1 home defeat for Coleraine back in September.
Their most recent outing was a 1-1 draw with Glentoran on 30 October, where Cooper opened the scoring in the 21st minute. The squad will be looking to return to winning ways immediately against their rivals.
Key attackers like Devine, who scored twice in the 5-0 win over Crusaders, and Wylie are expected to be available. The team's defensive record, the best in the division, will be tested against a Linfield attack that has also been prolific.
A victory would extend Coleraine's lead at the summit to five points, applying significant pressure in the title race. A defeat, however, would see Linfield leapfrog them into first place.
The match kicks off at 15:00 on Saturday and is a must-watch for any fan of the Irish League.
