Quakers hoping for win over Chester at fourth attempt

Preview of Saturday's game

Quakers are looking for their first win over Chester at the fourth attempt this season at Blackwell Meadows on Saturday.

The two sides have met twice in the FA Cup, Chester winning 1-0 in a replay after a 0-0 draw, and then it was a 2-2 draw in the league at the Deva Stadium after Quakers were 2-0 up at one point.

Junior Mondal is likely to start after being recalled from his loan at Marske, where he scored six goals in six games.
