Richardson saw off Dean Winstanley 7-2 on Night Five to continue his great run - while Newton will aim to bounce back after being edged out by Alan Norris 7-5.
Norris starts off proceedings against Paul Hogan who edged past initial league leader at the start of the week, Jim Williams. Then it is the turn of Tony O'Shea and Gary Robson; who in claiming a victory could strengthen their playoff ambitions.
Then it is Darryl Fitton who similarly will aim to bounce back; after losing to Gary Robson when he takes on Dean Winstanley who is currently at the foot of the table.
Then in between Richardson v Newton and the final match of the night sees Jim Williams aim to bounce back himself; after losing out to Hogan with a tie against John Walton who himself hasn't been in great form so far.
