Match pointers
FC UNITED of Manchester must beat Northwich – and hope Worksop surprise Hednesford – to make safe a place in the play-offs.

The Rebels will take part in any case if Vics’ appeal against expulsion from the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League, to be held at Wembley on Tuesday, is unsuccessful.

The hosts have lost form at the wrong moment, failing to win any of their past four matches with three of those ending in defeat. It is their longest sequence without a victory this term as well.

Wednesday’s home draw with already-relegated Burscough did little to help, although it did mark the return of top scorer Michael Norton from suspension.

Northwich secured second spot in final table by beating Bradford Park Avenue in midweek, the 17th consecutive Premier Division encounter in which they have scored a goal.

Vics have a better record than anybody on the road against teams in the table’s top half, winning six of nine trips. Only champions Chester have a superior goals per game average too.

Management pair Martin Foyle and Alan Wright are likely to be without injured duo Wayne Riley (knee) and Lewis Short (groin) again, but John Disney is available after serving a three-matches ban.
