Leiston will be eager to put in a good perfomance and get a win on the board after losing 4-1 at Redditch United on Good Friday, with Adam Mills netting a late consolation goal.

The Blues, though, remain in 10th place with five games to go and are now nine points off the play-off places. Bury Town, meanwhile, drew 1-1 at home to Worcester City on Friday afternoon, with Jamie Mauge getting a late equaliser on 86 minutes.

They are 13th in the league, and sit four points behind the Blues, although they have played a game more.

Chris Wigger will be hoping to have Cameron Rayworth back for the match after missing the last couple of weeks with illness. Also, Joao Rangel should be back after being away with Timor-Leste on international duty in the last couple of weeks.
