Dereham Town are set to welcome play-off rivals Brentwood Town to Aldiss Park on Saturday.
The Magpies will be looking to get their promotion push back on track after last weekend's defeat in Essex to third-placed Aveley.
Adam Gusterson's side are still in contention, but face a number of tricky fixtures during the remainder of the Isthmian League North season.

In their last game, Brentwood lost at home to Felixstowe & Walton United, leaving all three sides level on 48 points.
Dereham have, however, played a game more than Felixstowe and two games more than Brentwood.
“It is a massive game for both sides," said Gusterson.
"As we enter the final games of the season, results are everything - probably even more so on Saturday due to where both sides are in the table.
