The Big Two giants, who celebrated a domestic double last season, are in desperate need of a tonic after exiting the Irish Cup with a whimper at Larne. Linfield have now gone three games without a win and Healy knows a response is essential if the Windsor Park men aren’t to slip further off the title pace. After tonight's clash with Larne at Windsor Park, the Blues face a Big Two derby at Mick McDermott’s in-form Glens on Friday night. The same happened in November, a League Cup defeat at Ballymena United nestling between a league draw at Portadown and 2-1 defeat to Crusaders at Seaview. They responded in style with nine wins and two draws in their next 11 outings and Healy will be hoping for something similar with only 13 league games left.
