Relegation rivals Northwich Victoria make the short trip to Hilton Park tomorrow to take on a resurgent Leigh RMI side in what is a Bank Holiday double-header of sport at the famous old stadium. RMI take on Northwich in the afternoon in what is a hugely vital Conference game, while in the evening the ball changes shape when Leigh Centurions take on Whitehaven Warriors in what is Leigh's first home game of the new National League One season (kick off 7.30pm).

RMI manager Mark Patterson has no injury worries as RMI look to continue on from Saturday's impressive 1-0 victory away against sixth placed Hereford United.

Former Chester City defender Martyn Lancaster is again the only absentee because of a suspension which will keep him out of action until the end of the season. RMI are expected to be unchanged from Saturday's victory, although Patterson may consider bringing former Blackpool defender Guy Heffernan in to the starting line up after he impressed as a substitute at Edgar Street on Saturday.

Northwich almost completely ensured their Conference survival with victory over Southport on Saturday although they will be anxious to claim the point they need to ensure their survival and also prevent Leigh from leap-frogging them in the table.

Vics striker Damian Whitehead may be in Jimmy Quinn's squad to take on his former team-mates while former Manchester City midfielder Denny Ingram returns from a two-match suspension.

Former Hull City defender Greg Rioch, son of former Bolton Wanderers manager Bruce, is expected to start after Hilton Park after coming through Saturday's game unscathed.

It is sure to be an exciting relegation scrap at Hilton Park, make sure you're there (unless of course you're following the Wanderers to Blackburn, rather like myself!)

UP THE LEYTHERS!!
