TEAM NEWS
It's been a great winter of football for Spartans this year and with an unbeaten run building up for 2014 amounting to 3 games, Chorley will be the toughest test from the lot. With only losing 2 league games all season, which they are overdue for ... Blyth will be hoping that their visit to Croft Park could upset their title push. Chorley won the reverse fixture back in September.
Blyth may be without 2 important faces for Saturday's tie, with striker Dan Maguire being invited for a week's trial at Oldham Athletic and Paul Robinson completing the last game of his 3 match suspension. But at Ashton last Saturday a returning Arran Wearmouth scored his first goal since August in the 3-3 draw to Worksop.
IN THE AWAY DUG OUT
Garry Flitcroft - Ex Football League player, been at Chorley since May 2010.
DANGER MAN
James Dean - Powerful striker with non-league experience. Scored twice in the reverse fixture defeat.
