Chasetown v. Witton Albion

Witton make the trip down the M6 on Tuesday night when they travel to Chasetown in a Northern Premier League West Division fixture.

The Scholars are currently one point behind Albion in the table but have a game in hand.

Witton will be looking to get back to winning ways following a disappointing result at home to Bootle on Saturday, a game they could have got something out of.

The Scholars were in Isuzu FA Challenge Trophy action and came away with an excellent win at neighbours Hednesford Town.

Witton’s record against the Scholars is good with three wins from the four games played, the defeat coming last season in a game that saw Chasetown’s return to The Scholars Ground following the redevelopment.

Three crucial points are on offer tonight and Witton will be looking to get closer to the play off places but Chasetown won’t make it easy for them.

Kick off at the Scholars Ground is 7.45pm.
