OPPOSITION PLAYER TO WATCH

Danny Whitehall has kicked off the 2025/26 campaign in impressive fashion, finding the net six times in just eight National League appearances.

His early-season form has made him one of the standout performers across the division and a key attacking threat for his side as they look to climb the table — one that United will need to keep close tabs on in this weekend’s clash.

With confidence high and momentum on his side, he'll be looking to add to his tally as the season continues to gather pace.
