One to watch: Chris Conn-Clarke
The on-loan Fleetwood forward has been in fine form in recent weeks. The 20-year-old has scored 3 goals in his last 6 games for The Robins.

In the dugout: Phil Parkinson
Parkinson was appointed Robins boss in April 2017, after the club had just been relegated from the National League North.
Parkinson got Altrincham back into the National League North at the first time of asking as the club were crowned champions of the Northern Premier League. The Robins form carried over into their National League North campaign which saw the club finish 5th. The following season the club went one better and won the play-offs to secure promotion to the National League. Parkinson continued to impress as he guided The Robins to safety with a 17th and 14th place finish in the league across the last two seasons.
Our last meeting: Altrincham 1-1 Barnet
We last faced Altrincham in May at the J. Davidson Stadium. Daniel Mooney opened the scoring for The Robins after 22 minutes. The Bees levelled the game in the second half through Adam Marriott and secured a point on the road.
