Ballymena United vs Linfield LIVE score updates from Friday night's clash at The Showgrounds

1 month ago 380

Linfield will be looking to further extend their lead at the top of the Irish Premiership when they travel to Ballymena United this evening.

It will be a tough test for the Blues though as they will be without key duo Chris Shields and Joel Cooper following their dismissals in last Friday night's Irish Cup defeat to Glentoran.

The Sky Blues had no game last week and have been boosted by several new signings in the transfer market.

Boss Jim Ervin added Success Edogun, Duncan Idehan and Shane Flynn to his squad before the window shut earlier this week.

Welcome

Linfield could stretch their lead at the top of the Irish Premiership to a remarkable 22 points if they can pick up a win against Ballymena United tonight.

With second placed Glentoran not playing until Saturday the Blues can strengthen their grip at the summit, but it won't be easy with Chris Shields and Joel Cooper both suspended and several other key players struggling with injury.

The hosts could hand three of their new recruits - Success Edogun, Duncan Idehan and Shane Flynn - debuts as they look to get back to winning ways again having gone four games without a win.
