Declan Devine sticks with the same starting XI that began at Taylors Avenue when the Glens thrashed Carrick Rangers 7-0.

After scoring six goals against in their last outing, Pat Hoban leads the threat upfront and will be hoping to get on the scoresheet once again with Andrew Mills starting between the posts.

Larne makes two changes to the side who were the 3-0 victors against Coleraine with Paul O'Neill and Ryan Nolan replacing Aaron Donnelly and Matty Lusty.

Andy Ryan, who came off the bench and scored two goals against the Bannsiders, is among the substitutes.

Glentoran: Mills, Cooney, Kane (c), Thomson, Palmer, Hoban, Burt, Kamara, Larmour, Singleton, Jenkins.

Subs: Crellin, Connolly, Pattisson, Ferris, McEleney, Amos, Douglas

Larne: Ferguson, Cosgrove (c), Ridley, Wallace, S Graham, Gallagher, McEneff, Millar, O'Connor, O'Neill.

Subs: D Graham, McKendry, Magee, Ryan, Simpson, Austin, Lusty.

Larne defender Matt Ridley has been named the Irish Premiership Player of the Month for December by the Northern Ireland Football Writers' Association.

Ridley was a key member of the Larne defence which conceded one league goal in the month, and has let in just nine in the top flight all season.

Larne are top of the table after a strong month which saw Gary Haveron's side defeat Glentoran, Crusaders and Carrick Rangers, and also draw with Linfield and Cliftonville.

"Thank you to the Football Writers for the award," said Ridley, who joined Larne from Blyth Spartans in the summer.

"We've had 14 clean sheets and as a defender you defend first and play second, and that's what I've always taken pride in. To bring that into the Irish League is something I'm immensely proud of.

"It's not possible without the full 11, but especially the boys beside me in defence."

Sean McAllister of Dungannon Swifts was second and Glentoran midfielder Cammy Palmer was third.

Niall Currie makes one change to the side beaten 2-1 by Glentoran a fortnight ago, with Baris Altintop stepping into the starting XI following Ben Wylie’s move to Coleraine.

New arrivals Jack Scott, Josh Carson and Gideon Tetteh are named among the substitutes as they await their debuts.

Ciaran McGurgan opts for a double switch following his side's 3-1 win over Limavady United at the Coleraine Showgrounds.

Craig Taylor and Eoin Teggart drop out, with Alberto Balde and Jude Johnson coming in, the latter making his debut after joining on loan from Glentoran.

Portadown: McCarey, Isamala, Altintop, MacKinnon, Wilson, Chapman, McCullough, Fyfe, Teelan, Thompson (C), Quinn.

Subs: Moore, Gibson, Tetteh, Scott, McCartan, Annett, Carson.

Annagh United: Little, Calvert, Young, J. Henderson, Balde, Convie, Johnson, Rogers, Upton (C), Jinadu, Donnelly.

Subs: Marron, Skelton, N. Henderson, Logan, Evans, Redman, Farr.

Annagh United boss Ciaran McGurgan said facing local rivals Portadown in the fifth round of the Irish Cup for a second season running "adds a bit of spice" to the tie.

McGurgan's side will make the short trip to Shamrock Park looking for more cup success over their neighbours.

The Championship side knocked their Premiership counterparts out of the Irish Cup at the fifth round stage last season as they picked up a 3-2 home win, with McGurgan hopeful they can repeat that feat.

"When it comes to Irish Cup, there is more pressure on them as the Premiership club, the last results don't really matter, it's a clean slate and it's going to be a really tough game," he told BBC Sport NI.

"We'll take that result [3-2 win] again, but it won't be that easy, we won't think it's a case of turning up because of previous results, that's not the way it works.

"The mood is good and cup day is one we look forward to. Obviously we have had a bit of success [over Portadown] but that's in the past."

Cliftonville striker Brian Healy says his "eyes lit up" before his goal during the Reds' 3-0 victory over Dundela in the Irish Cup fifth round.

Conor Falls gave last year's runners-up the lead at the break before debutant Healy and Sean Robertson netted in the second half.

Jim Magilton's side will now play either Glenavon or Newington at Solitude in the sixth round as they aim to make the Irish Cup final for the third year in a row.

"I am absolutely delighted," Healy told BBC Sport NI.

"It was a great touch from Ryan [Curran] and my eyes lit up because I had a few chances before that that I should have tucked away but, once I hit that, I knew it was going into the back of the net."

Healy joined Cliftonville for an undisclosed fee after scoring 25 goals in 26 games for the Championship side H&W Welders.

The 21-year-old is the Reds' third January signing after the arrivals of Joseph O'Toole and Liam McStravick.

"Once a team like Cliftonville come calling, you can't say no," he continued.

"I grew up as a kid playing for St Oliver Plunkett and have watched Cliftonville matches before when they have been in finals with my family, so it is a club that I grew up supporting."

Watch highlights as last year's runners-up Cliftonville beat Championship side Dundela 3-0 in the Irish Cup fifth round on Saturday.

Conor Falls gave the home side the lead in the first half with new signing Brian Healy extending their lead.

Sean Robertson then added a third in the final 10 minutes.

The Irish Cup sixth-round game between Limavady United and Linfield will be shown live on BBC Sport NI.

The Roesiders, who are second in the Championship, will welcome the reigning Irish Premiership champions to the Coleraine Showgrounds on Friday 6 February (19:45 GMT).

Limavady booked their spot in the next round with a commanding 4-1 win over Lisburn Rangers on Saturday, while the Blues beat Bangor 1-0 in an all-Premiership encounter at Windsor Park.

Linfield are chasing a record-extending 45th Irish Cup triumph and first since 2021 after being knocked out in the sixth round by Glentoran last season.

The game will be live-streamed on the BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport NI website and BBC Sport app.
