Chester travel to Nantwich this week looking to close the gap on the second place before travelling to leaders Timperley next week.
But Nantwich present a formidable proposition as they look to challenge for the title with seven games remaining. Nial O'Brien has been free-scoring of late and the Dabbers also offer arguably the most potent bowling attack in the league with the likes of Jimmy Warrington. Ollie Freckingham and Ollie Griffiths.
Chester make one change to the side that won convincingly at Cheadle last week with Lee Dixon returning in place of Alex Kegg.
