Emley face Gainsborough at Fantastic Media Welfare Ground, Emley, West Yorkshire on Saturday, Oct 10 at 4:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Northern Premier League, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Emley come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Gainsborough, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Emley win or a draw looks most likely.
