Highlights of the game will also be posted to our YouTube Channel.
Joe Rowley has made a couple of appearances from the bench in recent weeks. The midfielder looked a bright spark when he came onto the pitch on Tuesday night and he will be hoping he has done enough to earn a place in the starting line-up.
Tom Denton missed out on Tuesday due to a sore ankle, Danny Webb suggested the striker could be in the fold to return for this weekend’s game.
Laurence Maguire was named Man of the Match after scoring two goals and putting in a magnificent defensive display on Tuesday night. The defender will be hoping for more of the same on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Akwasi Asante grabbed his fifth goal of the season last time out and he will be hoping to hit double figures by the end of the campaign.
