Bootle host Witton Albion on Saturday, Jan 16 at 4:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 6 points in the Northern Premier League – West Division, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Bootle come into this fixture in red-hot form (5W from last 5). Witton Albion travel in good form (3W 0D 1L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Bootle a slight edge, but Witton Albion are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
