Runcorn Linnets vs Witton Albion Academy.

Witton’s Academy team return to action on Thursday afternoon, when they make the short trip to neighbours and runaway leaders Runcorn Linnets in an ESP Football Academy Northern Division fixture.

Linnets have an unblemished league record so far this season and have been free-scoring in the process so Albion face a tough challenge.

The game is the second meeting between the two sides following the ESP Football Academy Cup game earlier in the campaign, which Linnets came out on top with a 2-0 victory in a game played at the Sandbach Community Football Centre, although Witton put in a spirited performance on that occasion.

The game at The APEC Taxis Stadium kicks off at 12pm.
