Witton face a huge game on Saturday afternoon when FC United of Manchester visit the U Lock It Stadium in a Northern Premier League Premier Division fixture.

Last weekend's defeat at Scarborough Athletic although disappointing didn't do any damage to the league position but Witton will be hoping to get back to winning ways in what will prove to be another difficult test.

FC United sit just below Albion in the table and results have been mixed in recent weeks, their last outing being a 2-0 home defeat to struggling Grantham Town.

Witton's home form has improved in the last few games, winning three out of the last four league games so they will be approaching the game in better form and with renewed confidence.

Previous meetings between the two sides have been entertaining but mostly tight games, the last one at the U Lock It Stadium in 2019 being a six-goal thriller as the points were shared in a 3-3 draw.

FC United's away form hasn't been the best, having lost five out of seven league games on the road but they are likely to have a sizeable following to cheer them on so Witton will need to quieten their support or at least try to.

Witton often raise their game in situations similar to this, and this is another of those occasions when they will need to be at their best in order to get the right result.

Kick off at The U Lock It Stadium is 3pm.
