Why should I watch..?

It’s a derby, and one 1874 Northwich will feel better about than their landlords.

Their recent record against Blues, battered by Padiham on Saturday, is an impressive one.

However the mid Cheshire rivals were more evenly-matched than a 3-0 result from their meeting last month suggests.

On that day, Ian Street’s side scored twice in added time at the end.

Winsford had enjoyed their best week of the season, winning three matches in a row, before stalling against the Storks.

Numbers game

1874 are targeting a fourth successive win against their landlords. They have also won every home game in 2016.

Winsford have won only one of their past seven matches at Barton Stadium.

A 4-1 defeat against Padiham on Saturday is the heaviest in front of their own fans this season.

Man to keep an eye on

George Riley

The player most likely to fill in for 1874 captain Matthew Woolley, who starts a four-match suspension.

Can the former Hyde man, impressive on his first start for the club in the return game against Winsford last month, help Neil Chappell win a midfield battle?
