NCEL Premier Division winners last season, Emley have carried on that form into the NPL East. The Pewits are leading the way in the early stages with eight wins from the first eleven games. Conceding only five goals all season Carlton will do well to break through the defences of the home side. The hosts are also the highest goal scorers so far this year, Amir Berchil already into double figures with eleven goals is some going. Four wins in the last six is good form too so this is a real tough test as Carlton are back on their travels.
Happy on those travels, the Millers have 3 wins and a draw, which was last time out against Bradford Park Avenue, from their six games and the visitors are unbeaten now in five games since returning to league action after the cup runs. New recruits have gelled well into the squad and this promises to be another great contest.
