Ravens' opponents tonight (25 October) are undefeated in league

FC Isle of Man face one of their biggest league challenges of the season tonight (25 October) when they travel to Wythenshawe Town.

The Ravens travel to Ericstan Park on the back of an impressive 4-1 win away at Billingham Town in the FA Vase First Round Proper at the weekend.

In the league, the Manx side currently sit 18th in the NWCFL Premier Division table on 13 points after 15 games.

FC IoM have two wins from their last six in all competitions, with a string of positive performances during that period.

On paper at least, their opponents tonight, Wythenshawe Town, are a daunting prospect with the Manchester side in scintillating form in the division currently.

A win for Wythenshawe Town this evening would see them go top of the NWCFL Premier Division on goal difference ahead of Vauxhall Motors.

Undefeated in the division so far, they also boast the most potent attack and the meanest defence in the campaign so far.

Their haul of 45 goals scored is the best in the table right now, whilst they've also only conceded eight goals to this point.

Wythenshawe Town vs FC Isle of Man takes place tonight at Ericstan Park, kicking-off at 7.45pm.
