Joe Thompson celebrates his recent goal in Dale's 2-0 over Chester.

Rochdale go into this Saturday's trip to Macclesfield Town with a fully fit squad that is hunting its third successive away win.

Wins at Aldershot and Chester have boosted Dale up to fourth in League Two and a win at the Moss Rose could see them placed in the division's automatic promotion places come Saturday evening.

But manager Keith Hill is refusing to underestimate local rivals Macclesfield despite the fact that they were on the end of a 4-0 reverse at Exeter in midweek. Hill's men themselves were hit for four at Exeter just before Christmas and Macclesfield snatched a deserved draw at Rochdale earlier this season.

Hill maintains that Macclesfield will present a stern test for his side despite confidence being high in the Dale camp.

The Moss Rose clash is an entertaining prospect as the home side look to recover from their midweek set back, while the visitors hope to boost their promotion credentials.
