Preview: Southport vs Warrington Town

Warrington Town will travel to Southport tomorrow for Boxing Day action in the National League North.

The Yellows will be buoyed by last weekend's 1-0 victory over Buxton, which ended their run without a win in the league since October.

Tomorrow's clash will be the third meeting between the two sides in a month after the Sandgrounders knocked the Yellows out of both the Liverpool Senior Cup and the FA Trophy.

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

Team news

The team held a training session on Christmas Eve, with midfielder Jay Harris undergoing an assessment ahead of tomorrow's trip to Southport after pulling out prior to last weekend's game against Buxton.

Captain Josh Amis will be available for the first time since the Curzon Ashton clash after serving his three-match suspension for a red card he incurred against Chester, while Connor Woods remains a doubt for Boxing Day.

Paul Carden preview

Warrington Town manager Paul Carden is hoping that last weekend's victory against Buxton can spur his side on as they look to build momentum ahead of the new year.

Joe Rodwell-Grant fired the Yellows to their first three points in the league since October, and they will travel to Southport on Boxing Day in the hopes of finding their first away victory since Radcliffe in the same month.

Carden states that if his side can replicate their performance against last weekend, they will be in good stead going forward.

"The aim now is to win the next game," he said.

"We've got to back up [the Buxton] performance and result with another one.

"One thing that we haven't done in a while is win away - since Radcliffe, which is too long.

"I've said it before that I'm not used to being at Warrington and winning more games, but we are where we are in terms of the division we're in.

"We've got no divine right, and neither does any team, because there's so many difficult opponents that you come up against for various reasons.

"We've just got to make sure that we do what we did [against Buxton] and that will stand us in good stead against anyone."
