BASEMENT SIDE FACING TOP TEAM AT HASLAMS LANE

- By PETER GREEN

IT’S top versus bottom tomorrow in Regional 1 North West as Derby welcome unbeaten leaders Anselmians to Haslams Lane.

While Derby have only one win to their name so far in the basement, Anselmians have been victorious on all but one occasion this season, the only blot on their results so far being an away draw against Burton.

"This will be a chance to test ourselves against the best in this division," said Derby head coach Liam Slatem.

"Clearly, they are flying and there's a reason for that. So it's a great challenge for us to be able to go against the best, try and execute, be accurate in areas where we have lacked accuracy in previous weeks.

"But it’s a chance to see what it takes to be top of this league.”
