Bank Holiday invariably means that it's "Derby Day" and Witton make the trip to Nantwich Town for a Northern Premier League fixture.

Both teams had an enforced break at the weekend due to their prospective opponents being involved in the Emirates FA Cup.

The new-look Albion side have begun the season well, taking four points from their first two games, whilst The Dabbers currently sit fifth in the league going into this game.

Witton can take confidence from their visit to The Weaver Stadium last season as they completed the league double over their neighbours with Will Jones netting the winner on New Year's Day, so Carl Macauley's team will be looking to keep that impressive run going.

A few familiar faces will be on show amongst the Nantwich side in goalkeeper Greg Hall as well as defenders Matty Devine & Ben Harrison.

Witton's team have shown, with the signings they have made, that they can compete with the rest, although the loss of skipper Rob Hopley is a huge blow.

Kick off at The Weaver Stadium is 3:00pm.
