RMI's third away game in succession sees them travel to Derbyshire to face Alfreton Town on Tuesday night for a Conference North encounter. After two defeats in a row on the road against Gainsborough in the FA Cup last Tuesday and a 4-0 loss at high-flying Kettering in the league, RMI will be looking for their first league win since beating Hinckley 1-0 at the end of August, prior to returning to Hilton Park against Stafford Rangers on Saturday afternoon.

Alfreton are going through a sticky patch of their own, having failed to win a league game since September, although they did keep their first clean sheet of the season when drawing 0-0 at home to Stalybridge Celtic on Saturday afternoon, though they may well have one eye on their upcoming FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round clash at Conference outfit Hereford United this weekend.

RMI boss Andy Nelson has no injury worries to contend with, although he'll undoubtedly be concerned about the lack of confidence within his squad at their lack of goalscoring, not to mention their ever-increasing "goals conceded" column.
