    Ballymena United v Glenavon (19:45 GMT)

    After securing their first away points of their season at Bangor on Saturday, Glenavon aim to add further to their tally as they make their first trip to Ballymena Showgrounds this season.

    Ballymena boss Oran Kearney welcomes back David Toure and Aaron Jarvis from suspension while Shane McEleney also comes into the starting line-up from the side which lost at Coleraine on Friday night.

    Danny Lafferty, Stephen O'Donnell and Sean Murray all drop to the bench.

    Glenavon boss Michael O'Connor has arguably the easiest team selection he'll ever have as a manager - he names the same starting XI and the same seven substitutes who excelled at Clandeboye Park.

    Ballymena United: Wade, Toure, McCallion, McEleney, Clarke, Jarvis, McGeouch, Sule, Corbally, Edogun, Rutkowski.

    Subs: Breen, Lafferty, O'Donnell, Ebbe, Thompson, Murray, Hood.

    Glenavon: Carney, Mountney, Murphy, McKeown, Burns, Carlin, McGerrigan, Campbell, McGovern, Falls, Ferris.

    Subs: McMullan, Cartwright, Mallon, Lowe, Gilmore, Lindsay, Quinn.
