The leaders of the Carling Premiership face the bottom of the table, as Linfield meet Lisburn Distillery at Windsor Park on Tuesday night.


Tommy Wright's side will try to cut the gap to two points from second-from-bottom Institute.

A win would see the Blues extend their lead at the top to three points.

Former Blue men Glenn Ferguson, Pat McShane and Tommy Wright all return to Windsor Park for the clash.

"Coming to Windsor will hold no fears for Tommy's side and obviously Pat and Glenn will be out to do their best on their return to Windsor," Manager David Jeffrey told the club's website.

"We've got to ensure we keep our focus on what we need to do."

Linfield came from behind to draw 1-1 with Newry at The Showgrounds during Saturday's Cooperative Insurance cup clash.

"In terms of scoring goals, you've got to do that. They weren't half chances, they were good chances. We created well but we didn't put the ball in the back of the net," a disappointed Jeffrey told UTV after the match.

In the Setanta Sports Cup, Glentoran meet Coleraine at the Oval.

A Bannsiders win would see them overtake newly-re-crowned League of Ireland champions Bohemians at the top of the three-team Group Two.
