The Sandgrounders endured a seven-match winless streak at the start of the National League North campaign, but propelled themselves into a play-off position following an unbeaten 14-match run.

Over recent days, Southport have suffered back-to-back defeats at Kettering Town (2-1) and Chester FC (5-0) before bouncing back in style to win 3-0 at AFC Telford United on Tuesday evening.

United boss Paul Cox will check on the fitness of Jay Rollins, Jake Wright Jnr and James Hanson, who have all returned to training.

Jake Wright Snr, Paul Green, Andi Thanoj and Jordan Burrow remain sidelined.

Last season's corresponding fixture did not take place – with United winning the last Lincolnshire meeting between the sides in September 2019 (2-0).
