West Brom and Derby sit eighth and seventh respectively before the only Northern Division game this Sunday but a win for either would send them level on points with fourth-placed Fylde.

Coventry will take over from Tottenham at the Southern summit with a victory at Swindon, with the game now moved to Royal Wootton Bassett FC.

Charlton would go at least third by winning at QPR, who are only goal-difference of the bottom.

Crystal Palace can close the gap on the top four by beating Portsmouth, who are six points behind the Eagles, while West Ham look to get off the foot of the table when welcoming Lewes.

The sole Midlands Division 1 match sees Radcliffe Olympic face Solihull, where a home win at the changed venue of Central College will send the hosts up to fifth.

Chorley will double their lead at the top of Northern Division 1 if they take maximum points at Morecambe. There’s a ‘six-pointer’ for promotion-chasing Liverpool Feds and Hull, while Chester le Street play lowly Tranmere.

There could be new leaders in the South East, as Cambridge United’s pole position is under threat from both AFC Wimbledon and MK Dons, although the South London side have a difficult game at Luton, while Milton Keynes meet Lowestoft. Norwich have a visit from unbeaten Gillingham and Stevenage go after back-to-bck wins when entertaining Denham.

It’s last versus first in the South West, with winless Exeter up against Chichester, who have only dropped two points. Either Keynsham or Larkhall could be lifted to third, with the Somerset pair on the road at St Nicholas and Maidenhead respectively. Cheltenham is the destination for Shanklin, who hope to add to their solitary point to date.
