Non-league previews: In-form Rangers meet high-flying Chasetown in Staffordshire derby

The Northern One West standings would suggest the high-flying Scholars to be the favourites, but given Stafford's recent upturn, they too will be targeting another win.

The feel good factor is back at the Rangers - since Neil Kitching returned to the club, they have won four in seven and lost just one, taking them to 16th place. 

But, Mark Swann's Chasetown are also flying with five wins in their last eight league games and overcame Stafford in their meeting last November. 

Looking to extend their five-point advantage over the relegation zone, Rangers boss Kitching is seeking more of the same from his side. 

Asked on the club's current position, he said: "We are pleased, but it can change very quickly.

"The existing squad has been outstanding. We have had a tough run since we walked through the door and it continues to be.

"We have picked up quite a lot of points, which we needed to, because when we came in the situation wasn't great. With a few more wins we can push towards the top half of the table. 

"Our games against Chasetown are always quite feisty and tasty. They are doing well at at the top end of the table, but we are doing well form wise.

"We want to try and keep the run going and if we get a decent gate those fans will be behind us and that can help us hopefully get over the line."

The Rangers suffered a blow this week through the loss of Jack Burgess to Stratford Town. Kitching praised the midfielder for his performance against high-flying Vauxhall Motors last weekend. 

"We did all we could to keep him but when players are doing well and teams, like we are, then it attracts attention," Kitching said.

"I am really disappointed to lose Jack, he was just starting to hit a rich vein of form. But, when a step three club in the play-offs comes calling it is a difficult one to fight against." 

He added: "I haven't come across a game where we have been totally out of it or there has been a huge difference in ability, and that bodes well for us.

"We go into Saturday knowing that if we are at it or like we have been then we should see a decent game."

Meanwhile, Hednesford Town will look to extend their incredible 12-game unbeaten run, welcoming Newcastle Town. The Pitmen have kept six consecutive clean sheets in the league to break a 46-year club record. 

And, in the Northern One Midlands, Darlaston Town entertain Bedworth United, Lye Town host Shepshed Dynamo and Sporting Khalsa welcome Boldmere St Michaels.
