Dil Chaggar - Skill Skool winner
The draw keeps Wrexham three points ahead of Carlisle at the top of the league although Carlisle have two games in hand on the Welsh side. Burnley remain third a further five points behind. However, we have three games in hand on Carlisle and five in hand on Wrexham.

Preston have climbed into fourth place with a 4-1 win at Port Vale but that wasn't the biggest win of the day. That honour went to Rochdale who scored four without reply at Shrewsbury.

The only other winners on Saturday were Wigan and bottom club Accrington, coming against Bury and Stockport. Accrington's 1-0 success over Stockport was just their second win of the season. They weren't able to secure another win though two days later, falling to defeat against Macclesfield on Monday morning.

There's a full fixture list this coming Saturday with the young Clarets back at Gawthorpe against Wigan who are now seventh in the table. The game kicks off at 11:00 a.m.

Finally well done to both Dil Chaggar and Michael King who featured on Soccer AM last Saturday in their Skill Skool with Dil coming out as the winner.
