Charlie Blakemore’s Chasetown FC side will face a big test of their character as they look to bounce back from their FA Cup defeat.

The Scholars travel to Chester – one of the pre-season favourites for the league – tomorrow (October 8).

And they will be keen to quickly forget their FA Cup misery when they went out 2-1 to Grantham Town.

Chester currently sit third in the table with 28 points, 15 ahead of Chasetown who lie in 14th spot.

The club – formed following the collapse of Chester City in 2010 – won their last league outing 3-0 against Chorley, thanks to goals from Alex Brown, Matthew McNeil and Wesley Baynes.

Kick-off at the Exacta Stadium is at 3pm.
