Your Weekend Starts Here! So What’s In Store On Saturday?

Here’s how we left things. Third place Salford City had just won at Leyton Orient to close the gap while Wrexham had suffered three defeats back-to-back

Leaders Leyton Orient face a real test of their ability to retaliate to that kick in the teeth as they head to impressive Ebbsfleet.

Salford are the first opponents for new Gateshead manager Ben Clark as he faces the toughest first game in charge since replacing Steve Watson.

Wrexham, meanwhile, know they must show their teeth but Graham Barrow certainly wouldn’t have chosen a trip to AFC Fylde.

It’s a first National League outing for new Chesterfield manager John Sheridan - and it’s a six pointer at Aldershot.

Who would have had these two in the bottom four in the middle of January?

December’s Manager of the Month Ian Evatt haven’t yet won in 2019 - Barrow's home game with FC Halifax Town gives them a chance to put that right.

Andy Hessenthaler say it will take seven more win to keep Dover Athletic in the National League.

But standing in their way of victory number one is a very much in-form Bromley who have won five of their last six games.

Paul Doswell returns to Eastleigh looking to increase Sutton United's place off chances.

The live BT Sport game comes from Harrogate Town where Hartlepool United pay a visit. Don’t miss our special previews with both clubs on the website.

Hard as they try, Havant & Waterlooville can never create distance from themselves and the bottom four.

They are the league’s worst travellers in the past three months and hope to end their miserable winless run on the road at Boreham Wood.

Solihull Moors are the division’s best side away from home over the past ten matches.

They go to Maidenhead, whose survival bid was given a great lift with an excellent 4-2 win at Maidstone United on Tuesday night.

Joint caretaker manager Simon Walton was angry with what he saw from Maidstone in midweek.

Now he’s demanded his players put that right against a Dagenham & Redbridge side who are starting to struggle to get results again.

The clock is ticking down for Braintree, bottom of the form guide and not yet showing signs of recovery. A home game with Barnet is their next big chance to get a run started.
