Linfield vs Stoke City live stream planned for Windsor Park friendly

Linfield will welcome Michael O'Neill's Stoke City to Windsor Park on Saturday.

The pre-season friendly will see former Northern Ireland boss O'Neill return to The National Football Stadium.

Saturday's game is being played behind closed doors, but it is hoped fans will be able to watch the action live.

That's because both Linfield and Stoke City are hoping to live stream the game.

Stoke begin the new EFL Championship season on September 12, while Linfield are in the middle of their European campaign.

The Blues are expected to be given a bye into the first qualifying round of the Champions League after their preliminary final against Drita was called off yesterday.

The postponement came after two Drita players tested positive for Covid-19.

It is expected that Drita will have to forfeit the game, with Linfield handed a 3-0 win and progress to the next stage where they will meet Legia Warsaw next Tuesday.

More details of Saturday's live stream should be announced later this week.
