Rob McDermott lines up outside him and new boy Josh Fowles makes his second appearance on the wing. There's also an all-action back row of Oli Powell, George Hunt and Brenig Hughes.

Skipper Joe Newton-Taylor has called on the Leek faithful to pack the park today, make loads of noise and make it hard for the opposition to play. As Joe says, games don't come much bigger!

Kick off is at 2.15 with the clubhouse open from 12.45.

In the reverse fixture at Hartwell Lane, Andy Thompson's 2nd XV are bolstered by Lee Williams, Jack Bray, Oli Drew and Sam Brereton, all of whom have seen recent first team action. It's another 2.15 kick off as the blue and whites seek to reinforce their promotion push.

The 3s get today's proceedings under way at 1.45 with a Staffs Merit League game against Stafford on the top pitch.

Come on you blue boys!
