After last weekend's 1-1 draw at Redditch maintained Leigh RMI's unbeaten start to the season, they face a 'War of the Roses' on Saturday afternoon when Harrogate Town, one of only three sides to still have a 100% league record, are the visitors to Hilton Park.

While RMI were gaining a share of the spoils in Worcestershire last weekend, opponents Harrogate left it particularly late to defeat Solihull Moors at Wetherby Road, with prolific striker Danny Holland again finding himself on the scoresheet.

The North Yorkshire side are, somewhat surprisingly, rather familiar with their Lancastrian opponents, with no less than four games taking place between the clubs during the course of last season.

The sum of RMI's visits to Wetherby Road were a 2-1 league defeat and 1-1 draw in the First Round of the FA Trophy, with the encounters at Hilton Park, despite a 3-1 league defeat, proving to be a little more fruitful after Steve Porter and Hugh McAuley goals gave RMI a 2-1 victory in the replay of the aforementioned FA Trophy tie.

Leigh boss Stuart Humphreys has a couple of injury doubts to contend with ahead of Saturday's game, with Owen Roberts likely to miss out with the knee injury he suffered in the 2-1 win at Barrow earlier this month, while winger Steve Settle may return to the side after missing the draw at Redditch.
