Saturday afternoon sees Steve Bleasdale's Leigh RMI side make the trip to Derbyshire to take on an Alfreton Town outfit that are full of confidence after their shock 1-0 victory at Blue Square North leaders Harrogate Town last weekend that lifted the Reds in to the top half of the table.

While the hosts are on the crest of a wave with their victory in North Yorkshire being preceeded by an emphatic 3-0 win at Solihull Moors, though RMI go in to the game with their heads held high after coming back from 2-0 down to secure a thrilling 2-2 draw with Boston United last Saturday, despite the late sending off of midfielder Andy Heald.

Heald's suspension won't take effect until later in the month, and he is likely to retain his place in the side in the continued absence of the injured Scott Willis, while Mark Smyth is again likely to partner Kieran Lugsden in attack.

Last season's trip to the Impact Arena saw RMI lose 1-0 to a late Emeka Nwadike goal in January, although Leigh won 2-0 at Hilton Park the previous September.

Kick off on Saturday is at 3pm.
