Crusaders striker Jordan Owens believes all of the pressure in the race for the Danske Bank Irish Premiership title rests on Linfield’s shoulders.

He was speaking to Downtown & Cool FM ahead of his side’s game with Coleraine at Seaview tonight.

With just three games to go every point is vital particularly for the top two sides.

“People say there is a lot of pressure on us,” Owens said.

“But the pressure is on Linfield. We are still one point ahead.

“We will just look after ourselves – we have three big games to go and Linfield also have tough matches.”

Meanwhile, Linfield entertain Glenavon tonight.

Elsewhere, bottom side Portadown could be relegated later.

Niall Currie’s side travel to his old club Ards knowing anything less than three points will send them down to the Championship.

Nearest rivals for the drop, Carrick Rangers, are at home to Glentoran while Ballinamallard take on Dungannon Swifts.

Finally, Ballymena face Cliftonville with European places up for grabs.

Kick off on all of the games is 7.45.
