Witton complete their away programme on Saturday afternoon when they make their first-ever visit to Hanley Town in a Northern Premier League West Division fixture.
The play offs are still within reach although Albion are now relying on results elsewhere, but they still have to take care of their own business to stand any chance.
Hanley Town are in good form going into the final two games, unbeaten in six games and claimed an excellent point against champions Macclesfield FC on Bank Holiday Monday.
The season got off to an indifferent start for the Staffordshire club, as they failed to pick up a point from their first half dozen home games.
Their away form was the polar opposite as they managed to string a run of victories together on the road.
The fixture at the U Lock It Stadium saw Witton run out comfortable winners with a 5-1 victory, but a different Hanley Town with renewed confidence will take to the field and look to impose themselves on the game.
A four-goal salvo from Connor Hughes added to by Elliot Rokka’s strike gave Witton a comfortable win with Mike Koral’s unfortunate own goal proving to be nothing more than consolation for the visitors.
Two more big efforts required to see whether that takes the Albion to the play offs or not but whatever happens, the lads have given it everything this season.
Kick off at Potteries Park is 3pm.

Early Team News:
Witton will be without Prince Haywood & Taylor Kennerley due to suspension but Kingsley Williams has been given the all-clear to return.
Should be a good game in form Hanley, hope Lawrie is fit and Williams back is a boost to the squad. I’d go with
Martin
Koral, Hitchcox, Harrison, Jackson
Williams, Barrow, Fogerty
Duckworth, Baxter, Rokka.
