Match Pointers
WITTON Albion hope to get their play-offs push back on track by beating fellow promotion hopefuls Glapwell at Wincham Park.

Gary Finley hopes to welcome back Brian Pritchard after the veteran sat out the past two matches with a thigh strain, while returnee Danny Warner should start at left back.

The Witton boss may recall top scorer Steve Foster too.

Captain Paul Henry does not start a three-matches suspension until next weekend as punishment for his dismissal at Brigg Town last Saturday.

Visitors Glapwell have lost only once in their past 17 league encounters stretching back to September.

They bounced back from a 3-0 reverse at Mickleover Sports at the start of this month by winning the next two games.

On-loan front man Jamie Clarke has scored three times since his temporary switch from Boston United, so is one to watch.

Captain Justin Burdett has missed the past two matches after hurting his head at Mickleover.
