Match Preview

Emley look to put Wednesday’s disappointing cup defeat behind them as they look to maintain their decent league form when they travel to face AFC Blackpool on Saturday (3pm)
A trip to the seaside could be just what Emley need after a tough night in Barnsley on Wednesday, but the 3 league points are vital as Blackpool currently sit 5th, and looking to make a push into the top 4 promotion places.
But 2nd placed Emley will want to try and extend the gap and put themselves in a good position for a promotion push!
Emley will not want to be complacent though, despite posting impressive wins over the mechanics back in October, a 4-0 PlayerMatch.com cup win was followed 3 weeks later with a 4-0 league win, both games at Emley, but it could be a different kettle of fish now.
Back then, Blackpool were struggling near the bottom, but have picked up well since then, and on their home ground too, they could be a totally different proposition for Richard Tracey’s men.
