Town travel over to the other side of Preston to take on the second closest side in the division.

Lee Ashcroft's side will be looking to bounce back from a difficult end to Saturday's game at South Liverpool.

The Ridge were 2-0 up and cruising at half time, but a second half fight back from the South saw the game end level.

However with 5 missing players, a point on the road isn't so bad.

The Opposition

Town won't be the only side looking to bounce back on Tuesday.

Charnock Richard haven't won in 5 games, with the last victory being an 8-0 demolition of City of Liverpool.

However they snatched a 95th minute equaliser to draw 1-1 with 2nd placed Ramsbottom at the weekend.

The Villagers sit 15th but don't be fooled, any side with Nathan Nickeas in it ought to be feared.

With 17 goals from the wing, he's not even their top scorer.

Jordan Darr has 19 and Fenton Davies, who has two both of Charnock's 2 goals in their last 2 games has 13.

However, the latter has just departed for Padiham.

Charnock Richard score goals, so much so that even their goalkeeper has been in on the action.

Shot stopper Ryan Hamer scored a 97th minute bicycle kick to earn his side a point against FC St Helens back in October.

Two ex Town players currently ply their trade at Charnock, in Cameron Gourley and Jordan Dainty.

Defensively though, that's where they could improve.

65 goals conceded hurts their chances of a top half finish.

Town's last visit to Mossie Park was an eventful one, with Town coming from 3-0 down to draw 4-4.

Longridge Town are yet to win away at Charnock Richard though.
