NLTV this week: Lambs host the Heed, and 2 NL Cup games

By Richard Dorman

A look ahead to three streamed fixtures in midweek

Just a single fixture in the National division in midweek to be aware of – Tamworth host Gateshead as the duo of clubs make up their game in hand at the Lamb Ground on Tuesday.

The Lambs are looking to get back on the winning track – they had won three on the spin in September, but have since suffered back-to-back defeats. The Heed, meanwhile, would go second in the standings if they can record a third consecutive victory in the Midlands.

And a couple of clubs also get their National League Cup campaigns underway – Altrincham host Blackburn Rovers PL2 on Tuesday, before Forest Green Rovers welcome Manchester United PL2 on Wednesday.
