Preview: Needham Market vs Warrington Town

Warrington Town will make the 432-mile round-trip to face Needham Market this Saturday in the National League North.

It's a huge fixture for the Yellows who will be hoping to pick up an important three points against the Marketmen, who are also embroiled in a battle at the bottom of the table.

This weekend's visitors were triumphant in the reverse fixture at the Cal.Delivery Stadium back in August, with Evan Gumbs' headed goal not enough to overturn their two-goal lead.

Below, we've compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.

Team news

Craig Noone will go into contention to make his debut for the Yellows after featuring as an unused substitute in last weekend's 0-0 draw against Farsley Celtic.

Midfielder Matty McDonald will be available for selection after serving his one-match ban for the red card he incurred against Scunthorpe United.

Josh Amis preview

Warrington Town captain Josh Amis believes players, staff and supporters must put on a united front as the club's fight to avoid relegation continues this weekend.

Just four points currently separate the bottom six in the National League North heading into the latest round of fixtures.

The Yellows only find themselves out of the relegation zone on goal difference - although the side immediately below them, Radcliffe, have played three games fewer.

Amis, who has made over 200 appearances for the club since his debut in 2018, insists the squad are up for the fight as they look to secure a much-needed three points on their travels.

"It is really tight down at the bottom, but as it is every week, the work starts on the training pitch," Amis said.

"We need a win - it’s as simple as that.

"No-one needs telling that performances haven’t been up to the standards we've come to expect over the last few years, but it was always going to be a tough ask this season.

"This group of players are up for the battle, and that’s what has earned us success over the years.

"We need to show that never-say-die attitude and provide a threat right until the end. Hopefully we can find some form, to help us look up the table rather than what's going on below us.

"I’d also like to say a big thank you to the fans, home and away, for their support.

"They pay their money every week and support the lads with their songs and cheering. That doesn’t go unnoticed, and we appreciate it as players.

"Having that extra man will be crucial for us as we keep moving towards the business end of the season."
