Due to a waterlogged pitch at Colne midweek the Ravens have had a week without a game ahead of a very busy few weeks with eight games to play before April 20th.
The Ravens will be looking to continue their good recent form having won the last three games at home. Likewise Chadderton will be looking to continue their good away form having only lost 1 in their last 5 away from home.
Before the 3pm games in the league today the visitors currently sit in 4th place on 74 points having played 40 games, this compares to 12th place on 55 points having played 38 games for the Ravens.
