Mossley vs AFC Emley - Friendlies Clubs

When Mossley and AFC Emley clash at the home ground on July 25, 2026, the stakes extend well beyond a single result — this is a Friendlies Clubs fixture that carries real weight for both clubs. He experienced victory in his only Old Firm appearance as a Gers player, but Sunday will be his first taste of the fixture in the dugout.

There is little to choose between Mossley and AFC Emley on paper, and the Friendlies Clubs encounter should reflect that balance. Mossley's recent form is difficult to quantify, but the occasion itself should bring the best out of them. AFC Emley will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. Skinner had another year to run on his contract but has decided to move on a month out from United beginning their Women’s Super League season at London City Lionesses on September 4.

Set-piece efficiency could prove the difference on the night. Both Mossley and AFC Emley have invested time in dead-ball situations this season, and a single corner or free-kick may settle it. The 29-year-old ranked 4th in strokes gained approach in 2026, and he has finished outside the top four in that specific category only once in the seven full seasons he has played on the PGA Tour.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. The former Liverpool forward has signed a two-year deal after agreeing to terminate his Anfield contract one season early, ending a legendary nine-year spell in England.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. With the sides so closely matched, a 1-1 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. It is understood that his next move is most likely to take him abroad - and potentially to the Premier League.
