Match Preview

Sutton will be looking to add to the wonderful victory over Shepshed Dynamo which almost certainly guaranteed league status for next season.

Sutton take on Chasetown at The Scholars ground, and they are formidable opposition who are still looking for automatic promotion in this league.

The last time these two teams met was earlier in the season, and Sutton earnt a 0-0 draw.

Sutton have had a difficult campaign and have been fighting relegation for most of the season, they currently sit in 16th place and Chasetown lie in second place. Having won a total of 23 games out of the 34 played so far, Chasetown are just two points off the top spot. A win today is imperative for Chasetown if they are to avoid the lottery of the playoffs. In recent weeks they have beaten fellow title chasers Ilkeston and Halesowen, but only managed to get a draw against Carlton last weekend. Chasetown, with only 4 games to go, cannot afford anymore slip ups.

Chasetown are based in Burntwood, Staffordshire and are nicknamed the Scholars having been formed by affiliates of nearby Chase Terrace High School.

They were formed in 1954 and play at The Scholars Ground. Chasetown gained national recognition when in 2005 their first round FA cup tie against Oldbury was televised. The result was 1-1 on the day, and they finished the season as champions of the Midland Alliance League. In 2007-08 FA cup they reached the third round proper, and eventually lost 3-1 to Cardiff City who went on to win it that year. Chasetown still hold the record of the lowest ever ranked team to reach the third round.

The one player to watch out for is Jack Langston who has scored 27 goals this season and will be looking to continue his run.

Come on you Royals.
