Venue: Hurst Cross (4500 seats)

It's early days in the Non League Premier: Northern and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
