Alsager Town face Sandbach United today (Saturday) when The Ramblers visit the Wood Park stadium.

Heading into the derby, Sandbach sit in 4th place, 13 places ahead of Alsager who lie above the relegation zone on goal difference, although they have two games in hand on 18th-placed Stafford Town.

The Bullets have struggled in recent games as well, picking up five losses in their last six games, with the only win coming against bottom club Rocester after a 94th minute winner from ex-Winsford striker Sam Madeley.

Alsager also crashed out of the Cheshire Senior Cup on 3rd January after losing 4-1 at home to Vauxhall Motors.

Form and league position certainly favours the Ramblers heading into the match, but local derbies are even less predictable than the already-unpredictable NWCFL season, so non-league enthusiasts will no doubt be treated to a high-quality game.
