The Big Preview: Tonight's National League Action

By Tom Scott

While some dream of silverware, others are clinging on to their National League lives. Whatever happens under the floodlights tonight, it's going to be huge.

Leyton Orient could turn the screw on leaders Wrexham with a win at goal-shy Barrow.

Incredibly, Ian Evatt’s side have scored just three league goals since the turn of the year.

The Bluebirds’ recent run will encourage Justin Edinburgh’s men who can put daylight between themselves and fourth-place AFC Fylde with a win.

Another side firmly in the hunt for silverware are Salford City.

After bucking up their ideas at Ebbsfleet United over the weekend, another triumph against Sutton United could crank the title race up another notch.

After dropping out of the play-off places, a home win for Harrogate Town would be just the tonic to spark a revival.

Bromley have been unpredictable on the road this season but head to North Yorkshire with every chance of getting a result.

Chesterfield’s revival came at precisely the wrong time for Braintree Town and defeat against the Spireites could be another decisive blow to Danny Searle’s men.

Recent back-to-back home wins for Maidenhead has changed the mood amongst the York Road faithful. But the Magpies can’t afford to rest on their laurels ahead of a clash with Dagenham & Redbridge.

Thanks to their FA Cup success, Barnet have a backlog of fixtures to contend with in the coming weeks. First up, a trip to Halifax to face a side that hasn’t scored a home goal for 277 minutes.

Tuesday's National League fixtures:
Barrow v Leyton Orient
Braintree v Chesterfield
FC Halifax v Barnet
Harrogate v Bromley
Maidenhead v Dagenham & Redbridge
Salford v Sutton
