M3 Barnsley vs Bolton Wanderers: Barnsley won 2-1 at Bolton last month in the FA Cup and now host League One action.
M4 Cliftonville vs Larne: A home win would see Cliftonville cut Larne’s three-point lead at the top of the Northern Ireland league.

M7 Linfield vs Coleraine: Linfield have eight wins and two draws from their last 10 games in the Northern Ireland league. Coleraine are on a seven game unbeaten run.
