CHORLEY travel to The Shay to face former Football League club Halifax.

Halifax lost 3-0 at home to Bamber Bridge on the opening day of the season but, backed by crowds of over 1,000, they have risen to the top of the table in recent weeks.

Chorley, who are 17th, were beaten 3-1 at home by Skelmersdale in the Lancashire FA United Co-operative Challenge Trophy on Tuesday and are without a win in their last six games in all competitions.
