Stockport have won just once in their five games so far in 2017 but have only failed to score in four of their 33 matches in all competitions this campaign.

Only leaders Fylde have won more away league games than them this season, while they have not lost in the league in seven games - a run stretching back to November 19.

Town drew 1-1 at Stockport earlier this season, with Tom Denton, who nearly joined County in the summer, scoring for Halifax.

A win could lift Halifax up to fourth if other results go their way, but Stockport will move above Town in the table if they win.
