Guiseley AFC Prepare for Tough Away Fixture at Prescot Cables

Guiseley aim to extend unbeaten run against Merseyside opponents

Guiseley AFC will travel to Merseyside this weekend to face Prescot Cables in a Northern Premier League Premier Division match. The Lions are hoping to continue their strong form and secure a fourth consecutive victory, extending their unbeaten streak to six games.

Recent Form and Team News

Guiseley secured a narrow 1-0 win over Leek Town last weekend, with a late goal clinching the three points. Manager Ian Richards praised his team’s first-half performance and the impact of substitutes during the match.

Richards acknowledged the challenge posed by Prescot Cables, describing them as a well-organised side. He indicated that Guiseley will have a specific game plan to counter Prescot’s strengths while playing to their own.

There have been some changes in Guiseley’s squad ahead of the fixture. Leo Farrell’s loan spell with the club ended last week, and he recently appeared as a substitute for Barnsley in the Emirates FA Cup. Jake Lawlor is expected to return to full fitness within 7-10 days. Meanwhile, Liam Ridehalgh and Jamie Spencer will miss the match. Sam Bentley is likely to return from injury, and Ollie Brown will be available following a suspension.

Prescot Cables’ Current Situation

Prescot Cables have struggled recently, failing to win in their last six matches. Their most recent victory came on 1 November with a 2-0 win over Rushall Olympic. They are currently positioned just above the relegation zone, with goal difference keeping them safe for now.

The team features experienced centre-back Peter Clarke, who recently marked over 1000 senior career appearances at the age of 43. Clarke partners club captain Liam Hollett in defence, with Calvin Hare as goalkeeper. The midfield includes former Leek Town player Tom Scully and Jack Goodwin. Ben Elliott, the club’s top league scorer with nine goals, and Finlay Cross-Adair, who joined from Fleetwood Town in the summer, are also key players.

Prescot Cables are managed by Steven Daley, who has been in charge since February 2023. Daley briefly resigned following the club’s promotion to the Northern Premier League in 2024 but was reinstated four days later amid internal club issues.
