The Reds will be without Isaac Assenso and Anthony Mackie, both suspended, as well as captain Alex Peterson who this week underwent surgery on a broken cheek bone and fractured eye socket after a clash in the game with Prescot Cables last Saturday.

Jason Yates, Jason St Juste and Fabian Bailey, all signed in the last two weeks will look to continue in the starting XI while Grant Black will also welcome back Danny South into the squad.

The Reds did not enjoy the trip to Butchers Arms last season, suffering the biggest defeat of the season, but that game triggered an unbeaten run to the end of the season as the Reds exceeded all expectations by finishing in the top five.

The Evo-Stik North game kicks off at 3pm
