IT'S derby day at Alder Street on Boxing Day with both Atherton sides vying for a vital three points (kick-off 3pm).
Mid-table stability is the aim for Rovers, and a victory would ensure that they do not become involved in a relegation battle.
Bottom of the table Colls have enjoyed only one win all season and if three points could be secured against their local rivals, it would go some way towards boosting their bid for survival.
Rovers have three injury doubts ahead of the game. Liam Donnelly, Jamie Cavanagh and Jamie Lester are all rated as doubtful, while new signing Kristian Evans is expected to make his second appearance after impressing on his debut last week.
Second division outfit Daisy Hill take on Ashton Town on Tuesday (7.45pm).
