FC United will look to continue to move clear of UniBond League Premier Division relegation worries when they travel to Nantwich Town on Saturday.
The struggling Rebels, who played Ashton United at Gigg Lane last night, moved seven points clear of the drop zone with a 2-1 victory at basement club Durham City.
Second-half goals from Joseph Yoffe and Phil Marsh proved enough for United, but it was a far from convincing display against a side who have lost all 22 of their league matches this season, conceding 110 goals in the process. Carl Heiniger added a consolation for Durham in the fourth minute of injury time.
Defender Adam Tong will be leaving the club in March to pursue a career in Australia.
