Accrington S. travel to take on Southport at Haig Avenue on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Stanley will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 17 and win only 5 of the 33 games.
The last time the two teams met at Southport was more than a decade ago, in November 1992, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a (Northern) Premier match.
