Match Pointers
GARY Finley will expect a reaction from his players after they slipped to a second successive defeat at Market Drayton Town in midweek.
The Witton boss is still without Lee Neville (on holiday) and Callum Hogan (ineligible), but may still be tempted to shuffle his pack.
Mike Moseley stands by for a first start in attack, while Steve Brodie is an option in midfield.
Albion were victors when the two teams met in the Mid-Cheshire FA Senior Cup final at Wincham Park in April, scoring a comfortable 2-0 success.
But their guests tomorrow have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season that has taken them up to second spot in the Vodkat North West Counties League’s Premier Division.
That has included three wins from three attempts on the road.
Manager Anthony Buckle will have to patch up his weary squad though, with five first team regulars facing late fitness tests.
Top scorer Andy Hurst is among them.
Former Nantwich Town wide man Danny Griggs is unlikely to make it while another ex-Dabber, front man Andy Kinsey, misses out with a groin strain.
