MATCH PREVIEW | Stockport County v Southport

Southport travel to Stockport County on Today aiming to continue their strong start to the season.

After a brief lull where they dropped points against Salford and York, Alan Lewer’s men go into the game having ended their winless run with their 2-0 victory over Darlington on Saturday.

The Sandgrounders lie third in the Vanarama National League North, and with a clash against leaders Harrogate Town to come next week it is crucial that the positive momentum is maintained.

The Edgeley Park side lie two points outside the play offs and therefore will be searching for three points themselves in what should be a stern challenge for both sides.

County’s players to watch include former ‘Port players Ben McKenna and Darren Stephenson, as well as striker Jason Oswell who has hit the ground running in his first season for the Hatters with seven goals in seven games.
