The Evo-Stick Premier League club play hosts to Burnley tonight for what I believe is our first ever visit to the ground.

They don't start their league season until 21st August, two weeks after our league season and this will be their third of eleven games before that season gets underway.

They played at Macclesfield last Friday for the Keith Alexander Memorial Trophy. They lost that game 3-1 but on Tuesday beat Rossington Main 4-0, also away from home.

So this is the first home game for them and against a Burnley side that will include many of what is likely to be Ash Hoskin's development squad.

Nik Kudiersky is currently returning from knee surgery and is not ready to play but there will be appearances for Chris Lynch, Chris Anderson, Dominic Knowles and Michael King along with both Alex-Ray Harvey and Wes Fletcher who have featured in the first two pre-season friendlies.

There will also be a trialist in the side, but as yet he's not been named.

The team is: Ben Woodhead, Ed Williams, Chris Lynch, Kevin Long, Michael King, Alex-Ray Harvey, Chris Anderson, Dominic Knowles, Alex MacDonald, Wes Fletcher, Trialist. Subs from: Joe McKee, Ross Wilson, Stephen Edwards, Dean Overson, Curtis Woods, Tommy Taylor, Dave Lynch, Joe Jackson.

Kick off at Silverlands is 7:30 p.m.
