It's the business end of the Irish Premiership campaign as the post-split fixtures get under way with plenty to be decided at either end of the table. Not only is the destination of the Gibson Cup and a place in the Champions League qualifiers up for grabs, but also a place in the Conference League qualifiers for the runners-up and European play-off winners. In the bottom half of the table, there are four teams still in with a shout with securing the final spot in the European play-offs. It's all about survival at the foot of the table with one point currently separating Crusaders from bottom club Glenavon. Both sides will be targeting 11th place to take on Championship opposition in the relegation/promotion play-off with 12th place automatically dropping out of the Premiership and into the second tier.
