It's a top of the table clash at the Mitton Group Stadium this weekend as Eccleshill United host top of the league Knaresborough Town in what is sure to be an exciting fixture.

The Eagles head into the game after another impressive month, with October seeing Sean Regan's side solidify its spot in the Play-Off's with some professional performances and five clean sheets.

Defensively, October has been Eccleshill's best month which is exactly the form needed heading into a fixture with the league leaders, with Dom Smith and his defense earning three consecutive clean sheets in the club's previous outings.

Regan will be forced to change his starting line-up from that which played during the midweek game with Armthorpe Welfare, with Antony Brown unavailable and Jonny Irving starting his suspension.

However, with the likes of Chris Lever and Ben Hardy both on form and available the Eccleshill United side won't be weakened by the changes with the strength in depth of the squad set to be utilized.

The visitors travel to Bradford undefeated in league football, having only suffered one defeat throughout the entire season, in cup action against Farsley Celtic. With just three draws, Knaresborough has been dominant throughout the campaign but did only pick up a point in its last outing against Hallam FC.

Last season the Eagles recorded a double against Knaresborough, with Jonny Irving's first ever goal being enough to secure three points in a 1-2 away win and a sole Luke Harrop goal earning the win in the home fixture; a feat the club will be hoping to repeat this season.
