Prescot Cables host Bootle at IP Truck Parts Stadium, Prescot, Merseyside on Saturday, Dec 26 at 4:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 2 points in the Northern Premier League – West Division, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Prescot Cables come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Bootle, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (5W from 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 Prescot Cables win or a draw looks most likely.
