Lichfield City desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 24 at 4:00 PM in the Northern Premier League – West Division. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Lichfield City come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5). Atherton Collieries, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

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