The late defeat at Dagenham & Redbridge 10 days ago leaves Chester six points adrift of safety with games running out fast for manager Marcus Bignot and his side.
Tonight sees Dover Athletic make the long midweek trip from Kent for this rearranged clash, and it promises to be another tough battle for Bignot and his men.
Chris Kinnear's Dover side come into the clash on the back of a 1-0 win over Leyton Orient on Saturday, a result that saw them jump back into the play-off places.
We will bring you all the action as it happens from the Swansway Chester Stadium as the Blues go in search of a valuable three points that may keep the door to survival ajar, if only slightly.
Scrappy affair early doors. Andy Firth lucky as a catch that appeared to be taken outside the box goes unnoticed.
Decent first 45 from the Blues. Vose key to unlocking this Dover defence. For some better finishing then Chester could be ahead here.

Sundstrand Corp. plans to buy the Turbomach unit of Caterpillar Tractor Co. for $100 million in cash plus royalties based on future sales, the two companies said Friday.
The unit is a division of Solar Turbines Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Caterpillar based in San Diego.
Turbomach makes small gas turbine engines of 28 to 325 horsepower. They are used mainly for aircraft auxiliary power but also for ground and vehicular auxiliary power units, the companies said.
The division had 1984 sales of $73.3 million, ''a relatively minor part of total Solar sales,'' said Caterpillar. Solar, which Caterpillar bought from International Harvester Co. in 1981, will remain a subsidiary of Caterpillar, the Peoria company said.
Based on Sundstrand`s 1984 sales of $1.04 billion, the acquisition of Turbomach will increase its sales about 7 percent.
Turbomach has facilities in San Diego and Edmonton, Canada, and it has a small facility near Los Angeles, as well as sales and repair offices around the world, Caterpillar said.
''Following the acquisition, Turbomach will continue to operate its business from its facilities in San Diego, with present management and employees,'' said Sundstrand, adding that Turbomach will report to
Both companies` boards have reached an agreement in principle on the sale, but it is subject to negotiation of a definitive agreement, the two companies said.
Asked why Sundstrand wanted to buy Turbomach, a spokesman for the Rockford company said ''we`re in the aerospace business,'' but declined to say more because the deal is not final.
Caterpillar said: ''The Turbomach acquisition should significantly complement Sundstrand`s products and services. The Sundstrand offer placed a premium on the Turbomach-Sundstrand synergies.''
Stephen Newhouse, a Caterpillar spokesman, said his company decided to sell Turbomach ''because it is peripheral to our core businesses. We received an attractive offer for the Turbomach business, and we believe the sale is logical and a mutually beneficial move.''
In addition to the Turbomach engines, Solar makes gas turbines ranging from 1,200 to 12,000 horsepower, but the much smaller size of the Turbomach products means they are ''sold into a substantially different range of applications than the larger turbines,'' Newhouse said.
He said Turbomach has been profitable, but he would not give figures. Caterpillar plans to use the proceeds from the sale to reduce its debt, he said.
