PRESTON Grasshoppers face a tough return to action on Saturday when they play host to high flying Sedgley Park.

The visitors currently lie in second place in the National League Two, six points behind leaders Plymouth.

Points are vital for Hoppers if they are to avoid a relegation struggle at the end of the season.

Hoppers have been badly hit by injuries this season and managed only four victories from their 14 league matches so far this campaign. They are currently third from bottom in the division with eight points, just three points clear of the bottom two clubs, Rosslyn Park and Waterloo.

With three sides relegated at the end of the season it could be a tough battle for survival.

Hoppers match at Rosslyn Park, which was called off last week due to a frozen pitch will now take place on Saturday, February 16.
