There is a big game at the foot of the Canada Life Premier League standings as Douglas Royal host Marown on Saturday.

The pair currently enjoy a seven-point advantage over bottom side Laxey and a win for either would probably see them safe.

Marown triumphed in the reverse fixture 5-2 only a couple of weeks ago.

Royal come into the match off the back of three tough games against Corinthians, Rushen and St George’s and should push the Crosby outfit hard.

Laxey will have taken some heart from their comeback cup victory over DAFC last week, but need to start claiming points if they are to avoid a drop to Division Two.

Rushen travel to Glen Road this week and should be favourites to return south with the points especially as they look to bounce back from last week’s defeat against Corinthians.

St George’s will also be favourites to snare the points when they face Castletown at the Glencrutchery Road.

Where DHSOB and St John’s will play is yet to be confirmed, but wherever it is, it should be a close game.
