The gap between Chester FC and safety in the National League continues to widen.
And while the chances of survival may sit somewhere between slim and zero hope, Marcus Bignot's side must keep on fighting until the very last, however difficult the task may be.
Today it is a long trip south to London to take on a Sutton United side who sit second in the table and who are gunning for promotion to the Football League.
Heading into today's game the Blues are eight points off safety and looking near certainties for the drop into the National League North next season.
We'll bring you match build-up, team news and all the action as it happens from Gander Green Lane throughout the afternoon

Key Events
We have a game
Both sides now going for this. Chester playing a higher line and looking more threatening going forward. But the home side go close through Stearn. Could be a decent last 25 minutes.
Close
Sutton corner ball flashed across the box but nobody able to get a telling touch. Chester goal kick.
Half time: Sutton 2 Chester 0
Beautyman and Harrison goals have the U’s up at the break - and they totally deserve it. Chester have been second best by a country mile and hard to see any way back for them here this afternoon.
GOAL! Sutton 2 Chester 0
Byron Harrison 45+2. Woeful defending from Chester from a corner. Header at the far post causes mayhem and Harrison turns it goalwards, although it looks like a Chester body got the final touch.
Great tackle
Wonderful full-blooded challenge from James Jones to deny Byron Harrison from breaking through one on one. Been Chester’s best player so far.
Sutton bossing it
Sutton dominating possession but not asking as many questions of Firth as U’s boss Paul Doswell would have hoped. It is, though, proving a simple task for them as Chester are unable to get any kind of foothold in the game. Poor.
Chalked off
Offside flag raised as Thomas heads home. Firth couldn’t claim the ball and is down injured.
