Darlington are looking for revenge against Chorley at Blackwell Meadows on Friday.

Quakers suffered a dreadful 8-0 defeat back in November at Chorley, and Quakers are determined to make up for that result and also collect three big points in the fight against relegation.

Fourth bottom Rushall, who are two points behind Quakers, are away to Alfreton, while Farsley who are level on points but with a better goal difference, are at home to Southport.
