A top three spot could be available for Mickleover Sports should they be victorious in this midweek's Premier Division action.

But, they have to overcome their hosts, Carlton Town, who have the best defence in the division and are looking to move into the top five themselves.

That match at the Bill Stokeld Stadium is one of two intriguing Premier Division games on offer on Tuesday night.

The other sees Sutton Town make the trip to Pickering Town as the Snipes, currently in fourteenth, look to start moving up the table and turn their games in hand into points.

But, the Pikes, who themselves could claim third with victory, are determined to turn around a poor run of form that has seen them win just one of their last four league matches.

Otherwise, it is all County Cup action with the Second Round of the West Riding FA competition taking centre stage.

There is one all-NCEL Premier Division tie with Thackley hosting Selby Town whilst the rest, however, see our sides pitting their wits against higher-ranked opposition.

The toughest task falls to Division One outfit Pontefract Collieries who travel to Conference National side Halifax Town whilst Liversedge would create a major upset by beating hosts Harrogate Town who are in riding high in Conference North.

Eccleshill United are at home to Unibond Premier side Guiseley AFC in the final of the four West Riding matches being played on Tuesday evening.

The sole game in that competition on Wednesday involves Armthorpe Welfare who go to Unibond Division One's Harrogate Railway.

Meanwhile, last week's postponed Derbyshire Senior Cup Second Round tie between local rivals Glapwell and Shirebrook Town at Hall Corner has been re-arranged for Wednesday night.
