BLUES MATCH PREVIEW: Chester FC v Chorley

A busy and critical Easter weekend of football beckons, with first up the Blues hosting Chorley at the Deva Stadium.

Back-to-back victories in the North East have seen the Blues hit 73 points from 41 games and solidify their position in third place in the table.

Midfielder Elliott Whitehouse scored the crucial second goal at Darlington last weekend, and picked up Player of the Match in just his second appearance for the club. The Scunthorpe loanee is in line to make his home debut this Good Friday.

Chorley have lost back-to-back games in recent weeks which has seen them drop out of the play-off places and down to 9th. They were unfortunate to lose to King’s Lynn last Saturday, as a late Billy Whitehouse free kick appeared to cross the line – but was not given – which then saw the visitors snatch an 89th minute winner moments later.

Kick off on Friday afternoon is 3pm.
