FANS club AFC Liverpool bid to maintain their winning start to life in non-league football when they return to their temporary Prescot Cables home tomorrow.
The Reds, formed earlier this year by supporters claiming they were priced out of Premier League football, top the Vodkat First Division with maximum points from their opening four games.
And, after having hit 16 goals in their successful start to the campaign, Derek Goulding's men look for a fifth successive victory when they entertain Wigan Robin Park at Valerie Park.
Marine are also enjoying an unbeaten start in the UniBond Premier Division, where Alvin McDonald's men take on Ilkeston Town at College Road.
The Mariners' opening six games have produced three wins and three draws - their best start to a campaign for nine years.
But they will be keen to get back on the scoring trail in front of their own fans after two consecutive goalless home draws.
Three defeats in the last four games have sent Cammell Laird down into the bottom three, and Ken McK-enna's men will be looking to get back on track in their first season at this level after promotion.
Lairds, who were beaten by a stoppage time goal from Ashton United in midweek, are at home to Worksop Town.
Prescot Cables have collected only one point from their opening five games and look for an upswing in fortunes when they travel to Matlock Town.
First Division North leaders Skelmersdale United return to league action after their FA Cup exploits.
Tommy Lawton's men, who have won their last four games, are at home to Garforth, while Warrington Town travel to Chorley.
Formby visit Maine Road in the Vodkat Premier Division and Ashton Athletic are at Winsford United.
Unbeaten Bootle travel to Leek CSOB in the First Division and bottom club Ashton Town are at home to Rochdale Town.
