BLUES MATCH PREVIEW: CURZON ASHTON v CHESTER FC

The Blues look to continue their superb run of form as they head to Curzon Ashton this weekend.

Tuesday’s dominant display at Southport yielded a third successive 2-0 win, and a fifth win in all competitions on the spin for Calum McIntyre’s side.

It moved Chester up to 8th in the table with their first away league win of the campaign, and gave them the opportunity to move into the play-off places with a positive result this weekend.

THE OPPOSITION:

Curzon Ashton are currently being led by Blues legend Craig Mahon – after Manager Adam Lakeland departing the Nash for King’s Lynn Town last month.

In his three league games in charge, Mahon has won one and lost two, but has also guided the Nash to the FA Cup First Round Proper with victories against Chorley and Tamworth.
