PREVIEW | Market Drayton Town v Widnes

All you need to know as Widnes travel to Market Drayton Town this afternoon

Widnes go in search of a third successive win away at managerless Market Drayton Town this afternoon.

The Whites beat Kendal Town 3-1 last time out to extend the gap between themselves and the relegation places to 10 points as well as moving six points clear of Prescot Cables who occupy the division's only relegation play-off place.

Dave Dempsey's team can go level on points with 16th placed Newcastle Town with victory in Shropshire should results go their way.

Opposition

Opponents Market Drayton are without a league win in 16 games - a run stretching back to the opening game of the season.

Richard Brown stepped down as manager in September but Mick Murphy remains in interim charge having presided over seven games in the dugout.

The Gingerbread Men haven't played in three weeks and haven't played in front of their home supporters since November 6.

These two sides met back in August when Widnes ran out 2-0 winners at the DCBL Stadium.

Team News

Widnes remain without winger Luke Wall who serves the last game of a three-match suspension.

Sam Adetiloye has missed the last three games with injury while River Humphreys hasn't featured in the Whites' last two outings, but both players could return to the squad.

Elsewhere, Ryan Jennings will be pushing for a start after coming off the bench to score in last week's win over Kendal while new signing Lloyd Dean is available for selection.

Matchday Information

Today's clash is a 3:00pm kick-off at Greenfields Sports Ground. The ground postcode is TF9 3SL.

Admission is priced at £5 adults, £3 concessions and £1 under-16s. Supporters can pay on the gate.

As always, social media coverage will as always take place on our official channels – Twitter @Widnes_FC and Instagram - @widnesfc
