Chorley v FC Halifax Town preview
Town need to win and for Kidderminster to fail to beat Bradford Park Avenue at home, otherwise they will finish third, unless they lose and Salford beat Darlington with a high enough score to overtake Halifax on goal difference.
A win will guarantee Chorley finish in the top five, but if they draw or lose they could be overtaken by Stockport if they beat Gloucester.
