Linfield boss David Healy believes the champions will be on firm ground when they clear a tough run of fixtures against some of their nearest title rivals early next month.
The Blues, who drew 2-2 at Cliftonville on Tuesday night, face Oran Kearney’s Coleraine at the Showgrounds on Saturday afternoon.
Their next league games are then against Larne at Windsor Park on February 8 followed by a trip to Big Two rivals Glentoran, who currently lie second in the table, three days later.
