The rearranged game takes Longridge to Cheadle.

They'll look to bounce back from a disappointing home game at the weekend, but with injuries starting to hit, it won't be easy.

Any support tonight would be very much appreciated.

The Opposition

Cheadle have had a slow start to the season.

Sitting in 18th, there's no doubt that they'll be disappointed.

However, a 3-0 Macron Cup win over Chadderton at the weekend will give them confidence coming into tonight.

Midfielder Darren McKnight will be one to watch if memory serves well, as will Sheriff Njie, who their charts with 14 goals.

We'd also keep an eye out for Ben Lowe, who previously scored against Longridge for Droylsden a mere two years ago.

They've got the quality, as proven last season in a 3-1 win over Town, it's a tough place to go.

Team News

On the injury front, it's not looking good.

Liam Atkinson missed out at the weekend after hobbling off a couple of weeks ago during our abandoned game away at Barnoldswick.

Oliver Bellizia, Ben Trafford, Ryan McLean and Connor High also remain out through injury.

However, reinforcements have arrived in the shape of Brogan Clark, who joins from City of Liverpool.

Muhammed Haji has joined on a dual registration from Preston North End, and Harvey Forbes also made his debut at left back.
