What's In Store In The National League North On Saturday?

Chorley are still title favourites according to Stockport County manager Jim Gannon.

But what will the landscape look like come 5pm on Saturday?

The leaders face a tricky trip to York City, where Steve Watson gets to meet the club’s home fans for the first time.

They lost to County last week of course and after rising to second and going to within four points of top spot on Tuesday, Stockport have a short trip to FC United of Manchester.

Bradford PA have work to do but don’t rule them out yet - especially if they can earn three points at Brackley.

Two promotion contenders meet as Spennymoor and Chester go head-to-head.

Two sides who have very much enjoyed the past few months meet as Liam Watson’s Southport welcome AFC Telford - and both now have play-off ambitions after a slow start to the season.

It’s now or never for Nuneaton Borough - the bottom club are adrift but if they manage to see off fellow strugglers Ashton United then not all hope is lost.

Hereford manager Marc Richards says things aren’t as bad as they seem but his players must start picking up wins. They try their luck at Blyth Spartans, while Altrincham travel to Leamington.

Kidderminster are two points off the play-offs and will fancy their chances at home to Billy Heath’s Alfreton.

The winner of Curzon Ashton’s game with Darlington will fire themselves well clear of immediate danger while Guiseley’s need is greater - they face Boston United badly needing points on the board.
