Tuesday Preview: A Close Look At All Tonight's Action

By Sam Elliott

It’s an enormous night in the National League with an unmissable evening in store.

Not only are the top two facing off, but there’s vital matches at either end of the table in the first half of the midweek programme.

We’ve got eight fixtures tonight and four tomorrow - and it’s not just the mega match at the top grabbing all the attention.

Over a thousand York City fans are making their way down to the capital aiming to become the first team to beat Barnet at the Hive this season.

You can hear from both managers in our special preview right here.

Forest Green Rovers will be watching with interest. After suffering their first loss since September at Braintree on Saturday, they’re on the road again and need to reset quickly by adding to Ebbsfleet United’s issues.

Oldham Athletic cannot afford any dropped points if they’re to consider themselves still in the title picture. Maidenhead United visit have won away only once since early October.

We know there’s a big game at the top but there’s one at the bottom too. AFC Fylde and Boston United are 22nd and 23rd respectively - and time is running out.

Aldershot Town may not have been in the bottom four yet, but they remain one point outside it. A trip to Southend United this evening will prove to be a big test.

Sutton United are performing better than their position suggests, so fans think.

They’re at Gateshead tonight and can’t let the seven point gap to the play-offs grow much bigger with Altrincham, sitting in seventh place at Hartlepool United.

Yeovil Town and Tamworth both have 39 points on the board after promotion and are eyeing a top-half finish in their first season back.

Tonight’s National League fixtures:
AFC Fylde v Boston United
Barnet v York City
Ebbsfleet United v Forest Green Rovers
Gateshead v Sutton United
Hartlepool United v Altrincham
Oldham Athletic v Maidenhead United
Southend United v Aldershot Town
