5th-placed Chasetown head to 6th-placed Nantwich Town this Saturday, 1st February. Both teams sit on 45 points, albeit the Scholars have a game in hand.

Form Guide

Nantwich come into the match following five matches without a win (D3 L2). The Dabbers missed the opportunity to leapfrog Chasetown in the table on Tuesday night, letting slip a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Kidsgrove. Their last victory came on New Year's Day, when they beat Newcastle Town 2-1.

The Scholars arrive on the back of a 3-0 win over City of Liverpool, the Church Street side’s first league win of 2025. Their previous victory came on Boxing Day against Hanley Town. The year had started with a draw and three defeats.

Recent Meetings

Chasetown took the spoils in the reverse fixture in October, with a 4-0 victory at the Scholars Ground. All the goals came in the second half, courtesy of Oli Hayward, Mitch Clarke, Joe Thompson and a James Melhado own goal. This was sweet revenge after the Dabbers completed a double over Mark Swann's men last season—1-0 at the Swansway and 3-0 at the Scholars.
