LICHFIELD city will travel to fellow early season strugglers Congleton Town as they desperately look to kickstart their season.

Matty Lovatt's men sit rock bottom of the Northern Premier League West Division without a point in their eight games so far.

Their hosts this afternoon (19th September) have fared little better, collecting just two points from six outings to leave themselves a place above City.

Both teams suffered heavy defeats in midweek, with Lichfield letting a lead slip to crash 5-1 against Newcastle Town, while Congleton were thumped 4-0 by Nantwich Town.

Kick-off this afternoon is at 3pm.
