FC Halifax Town and Jamie Fullarton will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to six games as they take on relegation battlers Solihull Moors at the Shay.
Halifax have hit a superb run of form as of late, only losing two of their last eight games, suffering defeats against Ebbsfleet and Leyton Orient.
However, the Shaymen have picked up impressive wins against Hartlepool and Dagenham and Redbridge, including a resounding 3-1 win over Woking.
Coupled with draws over Eastleigh and a strong performance to clinch a 1-1 draw against then table-toppers Wrexham, sees Town now seven points clear of the relegation zone.
Solihull have also been on a good run of form as of late as they also attempt to distance themselves from the drop zone.
In fact, The Moors have an identical record to the Shaymen in their last eight games, with three wins, three draws and two losses.
Their most recent fixture saw them come away with a solid 2-0 win at home to Bromley which edges them ever closer to safety.
Mark Yates’ side can also boast victories against Dagenham and Dover, edging the latter in a thrilling 3-2 win thanks to a late Alex Reid goal.
Solihull have suffered 1-0 defeats to both Sutton and Ebbsfleet however, like the Shaymen, they also picked up an inspiring 0-0 draw against Wrexham.
Draws against Torquay and Gateshead round off a strong start to 2018 for the relegation threatened side, heaping mounds of importance on this fixture against the Shaymen.
