Prescot Cables welcome Atherton Collieries at IP Truck Parts Stadium, Prescot, Merseyside on Saturday, Jan 30 at 4:00 PM in a Northern Premier League – West Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Prescot Cables come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Atherton Collieries, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Prescot Cables head into this on the back of a defeat, while Atherton Collieries arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

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