However, manager Jamie Shaw knows the Tigers will still offer astern test.

“They’ve had an up and down start to the season,” he said. “They’ve struggled a little bit with injury and player availability.

“They’re maybe not quite as strong as they have been, they’re rebuilding. But nonetheles they’re a quality club with a really good set up.

“They’ve given some of the younger player a chance, which is really good to see. But we are under no doubts going there on any day will be a really tough proposition.”

Kick off at Carter’s Park will be at 7.45pm.

Sam Jackson (two) and Wes Greenwood were on target as the Greens ended a six-game losing streak this season to beat Pinchbeck United 3-2 in the UCL Premier on Saturday.

“It’s always nice. It’s key for us to compete in those matches against probably almost a separate league of six or seven teams at the bottom, of which Pinchbeck are probably one,” Shaw added.

“It’s good to get a win and a performance in one of those games.

“This gives us a sense of belief and renewed confidence.”

Town will also host Desborough on Saturday.

Kick off at Eslaforde Park will be at 3pm.
