Market Drayton Town play host again tomorrow with Chasetown the visitors to Greenfields in an Evo-Stik NPL D1S fixture.

Drayton will be looking to consolidate the recent good form which has brought 3 wins on the bounce. Welcome victories over Romulus, Rainworth and Coalville has seen Drayton climb out of the relegation area into 19th place and close the gap substantially on the teams in the lower-mid table.

Victory tomorrow would see Drayton move up one place and favourable results elsewhere could see the team potentially hit16th spot. Chasetown have been in poor form recently with just one victory in the last 13 matches (3-0 home to Brigg Town) but have a new manager at the helm in Marcus Law. His first game in charge was a Staffs Senior Cup match at Leek in midweek where Chasetown lost on penalties with the game drawn at 3-3 aet.

Since relegation from the NPL Premier at the end of 11/12 Chasetown have visited Greenfields 3 times with victory for Drayton 2-1 last season in the league and victory for Chasetown the previous season 1-0 in the league and 2-1 in the FA Cup.

So, lots to play for tomorrow and victory would equal Drayton's achievement of 4 consecutive NPL league wins back in 2009.
