Mossley visit Ellesmere Port in rearranged fixture

Vauxhall Motors return to action on Tuesday night as they play host to Mossley.

It will be the first time that the Motormen have played in Ellesmere Port since Halloween night, thus it’ll great to be back in front of the home crowd.

The Motors will be looking to get back to winning ways as new manager Danny Holmes experienced his first defeat on the weekend, away at Newcastle Town.

It was a frustrating ninety minutes in Staffordshire as despite creating the better chances, Holmes’ side were unable to take advantage of them and would go on to suffer a narrow 1-0 loss.

A positive that day came with the signings of Lewis Willingham and Jason Akiotu which were both announced right before the game. Willow remained on the bench but Akiotu went straight into the starting XI and impressed, thus will be pushing for another place in the XI on Tuesday against a Mossley side who have just picked up four points in their last six games.

All support at The VanEupen Arena is greatly appreciated thus we look forward to seeing you there!
