Match pointers
WITTON haven’t won any of their past seven away games in the Premier Division, so face a daunting test at rejuvenated promotion hopefuls AFC Fylde.

Albion, unbeaten in their past three league encounters, did though return from Kellamergh Park with maximum points after last season’s meeting.

Manager Brian Pritchard will have striker Dave Walker available following his arrival this week, while Scott Bakkor is back after serving a two-match ban.

Defender Ben Harrison limped off during the closing stages of Tuesday’s Cheshire FA Senior Cup exit at Stalybridge Celtic, though he hopes to be fit to play from the start.

Hosts AFC Fylde have climbed back into the table’s top five after three successive wins, a sequence preceded by a run of five straight defeats.

The Coasters have lost five matches on their own pitch this season, though only one of those was against a visitor from the table’s bottom half.

Midfielder Harry Winter is banned, but the return of attacking pair Ritchie Allen and Sean Cooke has helped precipitate a return to top form.

Their defence is one of the stingiest in the section too; only Chorley have kept more clean sheets to date.
