The game, which is being streamed live by BBC Sport NI, will be shown on the screens in the 1889 for anyone not able to make it in person.
Linfield
Tonight’s game is a repeat of last year’s final, with Larne running out 1-0 winners thanks to Tomas Cosgrove’s second half header.
Linfield come into this game on the back of an impressive 6-1 league victory away to Glenavon to keep David Healy’s side in 3rd place in the Premiership, two points behind Larne.
Linfield have defeated Crusaders, Cliftonville and Glentoran to make this year’s decider.
The Inver Reds
Larne arrive at Seaview having won the Shield for the last two seasons in a row, defeating Glentoran on penalties in the 2020/21 season and Linfield last year, both at Seaview.
Tiernan Lynch’s side have four wins, a draw and a defeat in their last six outings, which has seen them continue their fine league form and book a place in the last 16 of the Irish Cup.
Victories over Knockreda, Ballymena United and Dundela have earned a place in tonight’s Shield showpiece.
