LINCOLN United won on their most recent visit to Wincham Park for a league meeting with Witton, leaving Northwich as 4-2 victors back in 2010.

That success ended a sequence of four successive defeats, including back-to-back six-goal drubbings in 2007 and again the following year.

Adam Warlow netted a fifth hat-trick of the campaign when he hit a treble during a 6-0 win in March 2008, while Brian Pritchard headed the final goal in the same game to send Jim Vince’s side 10 point clear at the Premier Division summit.

Debutant Junior Brown and Mark Peers were on target for the hosts too in front of the biggest crowd to have watched a fixture between the two teams.

Albion had won by the same margin in January of the previous season, even affording themselves the luxury of leaving out leading scorers Warlow and Mike Moseley.

They have won eight of their 12 meetings with Lincoln at Wincham Park, losing three.

Carl Macauley’s side were 2-1 victors when the teams met for the first time this term last month.

They are also unbeaten in a Division One South fixture in front of their own supporters during the current campaign.

However the Whites travel to Cheshire with a perfect record during February after winning each of their three matches, including a 3-1 victory at Stamford in midweek.

They had lost six in a row, including that reverse against Albion – a run that damaged hopes they have of repeating last season’s top-five finish.
