Shepshed pre-match news
Manager Gary Norton will be hoping to gain revenge for their defeat at neighbours Shepshed Dynamo on Tuesday.
"I'm looking for a big response tomorrow", he said. "We've had a bit of a blip during December and I'm hoping the game against Shepshed will be a springboard to start the New Year with an unbeaten run. I'm still gutted about the defeat but we've got to get it out of our system."We missed a great opportunity to go into the New Year in a good position and my players will be fired up for the game, but so will they."
Skipper Matt Smith is still unavailable as is John Branch. Matt K Smith hopes to be back after being rested to ensure he'd recovered from his hamstring injury.
Norton could also recall Sean Gummer from Glapwell to play on the left.
