Warrington Town will look to extend their unbeaten Northern Premier League start this evening by welcoming Curzon Ashton to the GXO Stadium (7:45pm kick-off).
The Yellows made it four wins from their opening five fixtures with a 5-0 victory away at Whitby Town at the weekend.
Goals from Josh Vela, Scott Butler, Reece Daly (2) and Lewis Earl wrapped up a flawless performance from Paul Carden's men in North Yorkshire.
Tonight, they welcome Curzon Ashton to the newly named GXO Stadium. The two sides last met in the National League North in April 2025, with the Nash emerging victorious in a 1-0 win.

Paul Carden preview
Article first published in the Warrington Guardian.
The way in which Warrington Town were able to shrug off any effects of a lengthy coach journey at Whitby Town delighted their manager Paul Carden.
Indeed, he said he could sense his side were “set up for a really good day” even before kick off, and so it proved as Yellows romped to a 5-0 victory.
The victory on the Yorkshire coast was an emphatic continuation of a superb start to the new season, with Yellows having won four and drawn one of their first five games.
They are only kept off the top of the table by virtue of having conceded one more goal by Cleethorpes Town.
“It was a long journey as well – we were over four hours without stopping – but to be fair to them, the lads have started like a bomb,” Carden said, with Town having scored three times inside the first 20 minutes before going on to add a fourth just before half time.
“We had an intensity about us from the word go, which is what we ask.
“It doesn’t always happen after such a long journey, but I’ve got to credit the lads for the way they were.
“Even with the way we warmed up, it all led to having a good start and the goals went in quite quickly. That really sets you up for a good day.”
In a change from what has been the norm, Town used all five of their substitutes at Whitby and the manager hailed their desire to make an impact.
And with the relentless nature of the new season continuing with a Tuesday-night clash with Curzon Ashton, Carden said he could see all five were desperate to make an impact.
“It feels like the season has been going forever, but we’re only five games in and we’ve still got a few to go in August,” he said.
“The season is relentless in this opening couple of months, but I can’t ask any more of the lads – they’ve been first-class.
“When we’ve had to make changes, we’ve made them and lads have come in and done a job because they’re watching and eager to prove a point.
“They all know they’re worthy of a place in the team.
“It’s starting to strengthen up now and we have to make sure we keep that strength.”
