Vale make the short trip to the Weaver Stadium tonight to play their third pre-season friendly in four days (kick off 7.30pm) as Micky Adams steps things up in preparation for the new season in August.
Vale have a couple of players nursing minor injuries, but are expected to take the full first team squad to face Nantwich Town, with Lewis Haldane the only exception out as he recovers from his well-publicised insect bite.
The game will be another chance for trialist Chris Brandon to impress the manager after impressing in the two games at the weekend, against HarboroughTown and Biddulph Vics.
