The Opposition

West have spent the majority of their time in the Premier Division challenging for the play-offs.

Following semi final disappointment last year, they look to finally make that extra step in a very competitive play-off season.

However, the last couple of weeks has seen them fall behind.

West sit 7th, two spots and seven points off the top five.

The resigning of striker Ben Elliot must give them hope though, with the attacker already on 10 goals inside 15 matches.

Adding him to a strike force that includes Jordan Lazenbury and Victor Abadaki is a recipe for goals.

Former Town midfielder Harvey Roberts has also had a great season in white, playing almost 50 games in all competitions.

The last few meetings have massively fallen in West Didsbury's favour.
