Scott McGowan will look to continue his rich scoring form, after grabbing four in the FA Cup on Saturday, when 1874 Northwich travel to Runcorn Town who managed a 0-0 draw at Radcliffe in their tie.

Whitchurch Alport are a point ahead of 1874 and they also got through their FA Cup tie winning 3-0. 

They are away at Skelmersdale United who suffered a cup heartbreak, conceding a 90th-minute goal which saw them go out of the competition.

Irlam did advance in the FA Cup winning 3-2 on Saturday and they face a trip to a Padiham side who drew 1-1 at the weekend and face an FA Cup replay after this clash.

Charnock Richard drew 1-1 with Longridge Town on Saturday, and Charnock will host Avro who are still searching for their first points of the season.

Longridge, meanwhile, are away at Hanley Town who picked up a 2-1 victory in their last game at Winsford United.

Winsford also drew in their FA Cup game away from home on Saturday and they are away again as they face Congleton Town - they took a point from their last game away at Alport.

Northwich Victoria won their FA Cup clash 2-1 thanks to two injury time winners from Thomas Kilifin. They host Litherland REMYCA on Saturday after they lost 2-1 away at Sheffield in the same competition.

Burscough were defeated by Trafford in their FA Cup game and they travel to Bootle with their last outing bringing their first win of the season away at Ashton Athletic.

Ashton are away at the current leaders Rylands who also dropped points in their last outing drawing 0-0 at Burscough.

After their first win of the season, Squires Gate moved off the bottom to 15th in the table, and this week they face a team who have won their last two in Barnoldswick Town.
