Step 4 preview: Chasetown seeking to end home struggles in Northern One West

Jamie Hawkins' side have suffered three home defeats on the bounce and have not won on their own stomping ground since beating Sporting Khalsa 3-1 on January 1.

Stafford Rangers have collected four wins and two draws from their last six matches to move six points clear of the relegation zone. 

Their unbeaten run will be put to the test when they face a difficult away assignment against play-off chasing Runcorn Linnets. 

Sporting Khalsa were left five points clear of the drop zone following their goalless draw at local rivals Stafford Rangers last weekend. 

Third-place Lower Breck will visit the Aspray Arena to face Khalsa and will be eager to respond to their costly 3-0 home defeat against league leaders Bury last time out.

Three defeats on the spin has left Darlaston Town entrenched in the relegation zone, as they sit seven points from safety. 

Darlaston suffered a humiliating 9-1 drubbing at Clitheroe on their last road trip and followed that up with a 1-0 home defeat against local rivals Chasetown. 

Town visit Atherton Collieries who have been dropped into a congested midtable tussle after slipping to two defeats in their last three games.

Lichfield City need to end a run of five games without a win to avoid being sucked into a relegation dogfight in the Northern One Midlands. 

Newly-promoted Lichfield registered a third goalless stalemate in five games at Long Eaton United last weekend which left them seven points clear of the drop zone. 

Since mid December, Lichfield have collected just one win from 12 games - including a six-match winless run either side of the New Year.

They will fancy their chances of returning to winning ways when they host second from bottom Rugby Town.
