The Mariners welcome Salford City to Blundell Park tonight in Sky Bet League Two (kick off, 7:45pm) in our first of back-to-back home games.

Town boss Paul Hurst will be looking for a reaction from his players after slipping to a last-minute defeat at Harrogate Town on Boxing Day.

While Salford City are unbeaten in their last four and sit 10th in the table, three points off a play-off spot.

Here’s everything you need to know heading into tonight’s game.

Previous Meetings

Town’s only win against the Ammies came on New Year’s Day 2020 when Ahkeem Rose scored the only goal in Ian Holloway’s first game in charge.

Earlier this season the teams played out a 1-1 draw at the Peninsula Stadium – Lewis Richardson grabbing Town’s goal that afternoon.

Salford will be wearing their home kit of red shirts with white shorts and socks. The Mariners will be in black and white stripes.

Referee

Carl Boyeson will be the man in charge later and he last took charge of a Mariners game earlier this season against Derby County in the Papa Johns Trophy. He’ll be joined by assistants Joe Simpson and George Michael.
