Match of the Day

1874 Northwich v Charnock Richard

The home team have lost four of their past five matches, although they were all played in the space of seven days.

They will be motivated to avenge a defeat against Charnock Richard in the return earlier this month, and a victory would leave them four points adrift of their guests with three games in hand.

1874’s hopes of challenging for a promotion place have all but disappeared, but they will still hope to break into the top-six by the end of an arduous campaign.

It’s an important afternoon for…

Witton Albion

Carl Macauley’s men have already secured their highest finish in the National League System for five years after a 5-0 win at Stalybridge on Thursday guaranteed them seventh spot in the Northern Premier League’s top-flight.

A victory against Lancaster City on Saturday would take them to 70 points as well as confirming that no rival will complete a Premier Division double against them this season.

And what about…

Barnton Wanderers v Winnington Avenue (kick-off 2pm)

Barnton Wanderers can take another step closer to the Crewe and District League’s Premier Division title if they collect maximum points from a meeting with neighbours Winnington Avenue.

Their lead at the table’s summit is worth 10 points following a run of eight successive wins since the turn of the year.

They also won the return game 6-2 in October.
