Hednesford Town (away) — season so far: 14 games, 21 points, 8th place. Their run of four wins from five has produced 12 points in that window, with ten goals scored and only four conceded.

Hednesford’s run demonstrates goal threat on both home and away trips during October, but they did end the week with a narrow 1–0 defeat at Bedford on 27 October. Chester’s higher league position and the Deva Community Stadium home advantage narrow what would otherwise be a straightforward case for the visitors based on momentum alone.
The match is a National League North fixture at the Deva Community Stadium on Saturday 31 October at 15:00 GMT.
