With an important league game on Saturday and a replay in the FA Trophy against FA Cup giantkillers Brackley Town, Lee Casswell may opt to give some of the squad not recently in the starting line-up some valuable playing time.

For a considerable number of Blues players the visit to the Weaver Stadium marks a return to their previous club, with Andy Kinsey, Ben Chapman, Paul Donnelly, Naill Maguire, Ryan Dicker and Danny Smith all having been on the Dabbers books.

Nantwich went out of the FA Trophy at Northwich Victoria on Satturday but before that they were on a run of three straight wins.

The winners of the tie will be away to either Northwich or Trafford who also play tonight with that game provisionally scheduled for Tuesday 3rd December.
