Only goal difference separates the two sides, though The Vale have three games in hand on Mark Thomas's side. Neither team has a midweek CCL game, so both will be refreshed for the weekend's contest. The Vale had a very credible 3-1 win over Ashford Town last outing, though preceded that with four defeats and a draw.

The Baggies are improving with every game, and despite one point in the last six against tough opposition, had a 15/18 run beforehand. With no reported injuries, the full compliment of players should be available for selection.
