Penalty to Annagh United as Josh Williamson brings down Aaron Rogers inside the area!

Lloyd Anderson breaks through the middle and tries to fed Keiran McKechnie down the left, but Alberto Balde defends well and puts the ball behind for the corner.

The resulting set piece comes to nothing and Annagh clear their lines.

And we're off...

Will the Crues do enough to remain an Irish Premiership side, or can Annagh United turn this one around and book their place in the top flight next season?

The home side will attack the Shore Road end in the first half.

Enjoy!

Crusaders manager Declan Caddell: "It is at home and a pitch we are familiar with.

"Unfortunately, in the first leg we picked up a few injuries which isn't good but there is equal quality to come in. Good, quality players, who we will need.

"Players know the importance of the match, they have known for weeks now."

Annagh manager Ciaran McGurgan: "Crusaders were everything we expected.

"We got joy in their defence but going forward they are pacey and have some very, very good players.

"They are a good side, but like before the first leg, we can see their weaknesses and hopefully we can exploit that on Friday."

Crusaders welcome Annagh United to Seaview for the second leg of the Irish Premiership promotion/relegation play-off with just three days after their come-from-behind 3-2 victory on Tuesday night.

Declan Caddell had to contend with a few injury blows on Tuesday night, and seemingly makes two changes to his starting XI as a result.

Fraser Bryden and Cameron Bruce miss out altogether, with Jacob Blaney and Lloyd Anderson coming in to the side.

Annagh boss Ciaran McGurgan on the other hand names an unchanged side following Tuesday night's narrow defeat.

Crusaders: Dibaga, Forsythe, Blaney, McKechnie, Jewitt-White (c), Brooks, Dunlop, Williamson, Rough, Anderson, Barr.

Subs: Tuffey, Hamilton, Owens, Nixon, McCart, Maguire, James.

Annagh United: Little, J.Henderson, Swan, N.Henderson (c), Balde, Taylor, Rogers, Upton, Redman, Teggart, Donnelly.

Subs: Marron, Calvert, Young, Convie, Johnson, Jinadu, Farr.

A spirited Crusaders fight back helped the north Belfast side come from behind to beat Annagh United 3-2 in the first leg of the Irish Premiership promotion/relegation play-off at the BMG Arena.

Goals from Elliot Dunlop, Fraser Bryden and substitute Thomas Maguire flipped the game on its head after the Championship side went 2-0 up after 45 minutes thanks to goals from Aaron Rogers and Lee Upton.

Annagh started the game at a frenetic pace, but the visitors eventually settled and began creating a few half chances.

However, midway through the first half, it was first blood to the Championship side, who hit the front against the run of play.

An attacking corner was recycled before finding Rogers at the back post, who needed two bites at the cherry but eventually found the bottom corner with a precise finish at the second time of asking.

As half-time drew closer, the home side doubled their advantage as Upton got up to head home Craig Taylor's long throw-in from the left-hand side.

Just as Annagh thought they'd be going in at the break with a two-goal advantage, the Crues hit back through Dunlop as he fired home from outside the area after two neat touches to set himself up.

Nine minutes after the restart the Crues drew level and it was that man Bryden who got it. The prolific striker was afforded far too much time and space in the area as he guided home Dunlop's cross with his head with help from the far post.

The Crues snatched victory from the jaws of defeat right at the death as substitute Maguire found a way through goalkeeper Joel Little, whose unfortunate blunder cost his side.
