Bradford Park Avenue will be hoping for a win from tomorrow's visit to struggling Manchester outfit Flixton after last week's postponement cost them fourth place in UniBond Division One.

Manager Trevor Storton has swooped to sign keeper Matt Baker from Hull City on a month's loan after Gavin Kelly cut his hand at work but Avenue have everyone else fresh after a fortnight's rest.

"We were disappointed to miss last week," said Storton. "Now we have to get games in and pick up vital wins if we are to stay with the leading teams."

Liversedge climbed to second in the Northern Counties East Premier Division with last Saturday's 3-1 win at Staveley MW and have home advantage in tomorrow's derby with Eccleshill United.

Sedge's midfield general Andy Kenton should be back from his calf injury after training this week and Kevin Blanchard returns to the squad.

United could have six players out if striker Mick Ward fails to recover from a badly gashed foot picked up in Tuesday's 5-0 defeat to Alfreton. Paul Newsome, Jamie Buchan, Scott Price and Stuart Waite are all suspended and Neil Grist is unavailable. Andy Sutcliffe and Ian Heppinstall, though, made successful midweek returns from ankle injuries.

Thackley add former United centre back Martin Pattison to their squad for the first time when Staveley visit Dennyfield.

Chris Arum is set for a return to the squad after re-signing from Wibsey on Wednesday. Mick Adams is back in contention after missing last Saturday's 5-1 loss at Arnold Town.

Guiseley manager Bobby Davison threatened changes following last Saturday's 4-2 defeat at UniBond Premier basement club Winsford United but his hands may be tied by injury problems.

The visit to Droylsden is hardly a relegation battle but the sides, currently 16th and 17th respectively, both need points to distance themselves from the strugglers.

Farsley Celtic also face a testing away game in Division One when they travel to Netherfield Kendal. Skipper Steve Learoyd is back at the heart of their defence and Wayne Noteman back from suspension.
