Good evening and welcome to our coverage of tonight's three games in the Irish Premiership.

After a hectic festive season, there's no better way to banish those January blues than to take in another helping of top-flight footie action and you can follow it all here live as the action unfolds throughout the evening.

Third-placed Glenavon know they need a win to keep in touch with new leaders Crusaders and second-placed Coleraine as they travel to take on an Ards side which is unbeaten in their last four matches.

Cliftonville's challenging run of Christmas fixtures yielded just one point from a possible nine and they will be keen to get back on track against a Ballymena outfit who have taken four points from a similarly tough schedule of games.

Glentoran's solitary point at Dungannon on Saturday saw them drop a place to seventh in the standings so Gary Haveron's men will be keen to collect maximum points when they host Warrenpoint Town at the Oval.
