Witton Albion vs Basford United.

Albion are looking to bounce back after a 2-1 defeat to Mickleover FC on Tuesday night.

Regan Griffiths has joined the club on loan from Crewe Alexandra and is available for selection to boost Carl Macauley’s squad.

Danny McKenna sat out Tuesday’s game through suspension, but he too becomes available to the manager.

James Hooper is an injury doubt with a hamstring problem that has affected his season so far.

Basford have four points from the opening three league matches played and sit three places above Witton in 10th.

They come into this game off the back of a 2-2 draw at Matlock Town on Tuesday night, which backed up a 2-1 win on the road at Lancaster City last weekend.

It should be a good game. Kick-off at Wincham Park is at 3:00pm.
